The insurance industry will love this.

Oh no, a more expensive subscription (for insurance) for a car that makes you already subscribe to be a beta tester of a technology that runs you into the side of a train!

Why would they love this? More claims means they have to pay out more. Even if they're assholes and don't pay out, they still have to process and fight claims which costs money.

They’ll raise rates on Teslas higher to offset that and make more money in the process.
