The critical question facing our driverless future is liability. Who owns the risk? If the individual owner is liable, you can imagine the upshot - slow adoption rates, high premiums. If the seller/programmer is liable, expect consolidation. It feels like this is the question of our time. To pay for consolidated services - spotify, netflix, uber, Bernie Sanders - or to remain an individual and accept inefficiency as a natural cost of freedom.
