I think insurance companies will offer discounts for self driving cars. But depending on how liability ends up playing out it could be a totally different industry.
Right now insurance companies pay for mistakes their drivers make. But who pays for mistakes the self driving cars make? Is that on the insurer or on the manufacturer or on the maker of the software. If I don't have to worry about my liability in case I make a mistake and end up seriously injuring someone - my insurance costs would go way down.
