Think of e.g. medical innovation companies offering insurance or reinsurance to doctors for malpractice, which (broadly) probably tracks adverse patient results (and, unrelatedly, beside manner) more than malpractice.

I like the ideal in general more than I like the idea applied to Tesla specifically, because they strike me as being just smart enough to say “Well we’re already betting the farm on this being safe so why not increase our exposure by basically nothing for the marketing benefit.”

Was just thinking that car insurance was a necessity for Tesla, if only to answer the question of who is liable in an AV crash.

thing is with these ancillary products is that they are usually overpriced because the main product (the car) is kept at lowest possible price possible to boost sales so the profits are driven by ancillary addons (insurance, autopilot, 4-wheel driving)

meaning that although tesla insurance for tesla cars should be cheaper than getting from a 3rd party insurance company, most likely won't be because that is where tesla will make the profits. If the cars are that safe then 3rd party insurances will reduce prices for those models
