Self driving autos in FL!

[Bob Denman]

That IS... the $64,000 question! :thumbup:

As of right now: the driver/passenger is liable.
In today's self-driving vehicles: that person still retains the ability to control the vehicle...

Who knows what the future may bring?

Just wondering what the industry is saying.... thanks for the info

They've been "suspiciously quiet..." :shocked:

I can understand the licensing being the responsibility of the owner, but not the insurance

Hi bcer960,

Re: I can understand the licensing being the responsibility of the owner, but not the insurance

IMO this is one of those things that the first court case will set the precedent for all future responsibility to follow.

:shocked: Courts... Legislators... The DMV... The Insurance Companies...
Which bungling bureaucracy would you like to decide the finer points of this pending issue? :dontknow:

Pick your poison! :gaah:

Oh, I have no doubt that the insurance companies will still find a way to take all my money. At least all thats left from the government, oh wait, our car insurance company is the government. And with no other choices they are getting it all. ( $1800 for a years fire theft etc. and 6 months of riding ) So, I guess nothing will change

 

[Bob Denman]

Right now: I've got nothing to complain about; when it comes to my insurance companies...
The auto and house insurances combine for only about $1,350 per year...
The Health insurance is a bit steep at $2,150 per Month :yikes:
But the Missus is undergoing chemotherapy :shocked:, and they're paying the bills for it... ray:

Twenty years ago I was traveling just outside Leavenworth, Wa. on my GL1500 and was rear-ended by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel. His fender kissed the chrome trim on my saddlebag. (at 50MPH). I was skilled and lucky enough to not go down. We pulled over and I gave him a good tongue lashing. He promised to stay there and get some sleep If I would not report him. After going down the road, I doubled back 10 minutes later and guess what, he was gone. JerryB, if that was you, I do not forgive you. I kept that scuffed chrome trim on the bike as a reminder of the idiots on the road and that I need to be aware of them at all times. I know this is off topic and I am sorry for that. But this thread morphed to that issue. To ALL of you reading this that have an impairment condition, please address it. We don't need you driving around "locked and loaded" looking for a target. That target could be your family or mine. Deal with it. End of rant..... Jim
