    If your insurance determined that an autonomous vehicle will cause less damage over time than a human driver, they will do that, yes.

      Autonomous logic doesn’t pay insurance, does it?

      If so, who TF is paying the insurance behind the scenes, and who is responsible?

        The owner of the vehicle is probably very openly paying.

          We’re talking about autonomous vehicles here, no driver, company owned.

          So is Alphabet responsible?

          Do your homework, these vehicles are owned by the parent company of Google and Apple, Alphabet. These vehicles have no private owner. So again, who TF is responsible?

            Alphabet don’t own Apple.

              I’ll take your word on that. I’ve edited my comment to reflect that, but last research I did a few years ago, both companies were under the umbrella of Alphabet.

            So what? It’s not the gotcha you apparently believe to have found, companies can have insurance…
