Autonomous cars will never drop it “to near zero”.
The assumption is that all accidents are completely driver error.
It is strictly fir the benefit of insurance companies who know when you “toggle off” the automation and therefore absolve themselves completely.
Guess what? At every end destination where the most complicated and accident prone areas (parking lots, curb side drop off and pick up, bad weather etc) you’ll be toggling off the insurance is all that you’ll be doing!
