That's arguable.
Semi insurance is profoundly expensive. I'm not even commercial and do very few miles, 0 accidents and still want to **** punt my insurance company. Plus, if you listen to them, some of these ambulance chasing ****wad lawyers don't give a **** what your liability coverage is, they're going to sue for the whatever's on your balance sheet. And that's them talking to my puny little ass. A big company, you know they're going to try to prove negligence and go around the liability coverage.
I'm no insurance guy and certainly no lawyer, but that's what I'm hearing.
Moreover, I don't think that totally absolves the operator of carrying insurance. If there is an accident that is deemed to be a maintenance issue the operator would be liable for that.
Maybe it's all doable, but from my perspective I'd be sweating the liability if I was anywhere near manufacturing autonomous.
