Would you hail a 'robotaxi'? Musk bets cabs will give Tesla a lift after boycotts and sales plunge

10. I must be too old-fashioned. I would not take a driverless taxi. All will be well--until it isn't.

Obviously, accidents happen with live drivers, as well. I STILL don't feel comfortable getting into a car that is supposed to navigate street traffic on its own.

I wonder, what would the insurance situation look like for a passenger involved in a serious accident involving a driver-less car? Does the taxi company's insurance pick up everything? Does the insurance of the vehicle's manufacturer? Or, is the passenger SOL and on his/her own as usual? When AI gets to the point where it decides on its own, "hey, I'm not driving anyone to THAT address, that part of town is too unsafe at this hour!" can the passenger override it? I'd rather be driven by Forrest Gump than by HAL.
