All the Accidents California's Driverless Cars Got in by Being
Too Good at Driving:

"Driverless cars are designed to cut down on traffic accidents, but that
hasn’t stopped human-driven cars from crashing into them anyways.

The California DMV just published all of its driverless car accident
reports online—low-speed, minor fender-benders, with human error to
blame. But there is a common thread besides human dumbassedness
in the reports: Driverless cars can be overly cautious.

In traffic conditions where people are used to more aggressive traffic,
the clash in driving styles could create conditions for fender-benders
like these. And these accident reports highlight how that can happen."

The Teslas recently got an autopilor feature, and it's so cool. Kinda scary, too.

I wonder why the car insurance industry isn't coming out.

Having driverless cars means that those hunks of metal will not be insured, relying the commuters to rely on their life, PA and hospital plans. Lower car insurance sales means lower revenue - with all that shit clauses means they don't have to pay out as much anyway.

Insurance for drivers is different from insurance for vehicles, and car owners would still need to pay for insurance for protection against damage for example, even if the cars are driverless, or else the government agencies responsible for titles won't allow it.

Owners Are Now Training Their Cars to Drive Autonomously:

"Tesla's autopilot went live a couple of weeks ago (it's one of the first car
brands to do this).

Unlike the autopilots and cruise controls of the past, it's an autonomous
system. This means it isn't limited to the capabilities you get when you
pop it out of the box. It gets better as you train it and provide it with
experience.

Here's some first hand feedback from Tesla drivers on how fast the
autopilot is learning:"

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.
