        What is your definition of immediate to begin with, 1year to 10years?

            Ok so ten years then. In that time nearly all average family cars will be smart. They will have self-driving (they can come pick you up). Will have a few years of insurance claims and premiums showing they are not responsible for 99% of crashes and insurance will react accordingly pushing up the insurance of the last holdouts so far that it becomes uneconomical for the average person to drive “manual”.

              It sounds like we’re assuming a similar adoption curve and are just using terms differently. In those intermediate years while insurance is reacting, if the driverless car kills someone, who’s to blame?

                Driverless car company. What that means in legal terms is beyond my understanding but companies kill people everyday so there’s probably precident.
