For this announcement, no.

Some caveats, this is only for the robotaxi, not any personal owned self driving. Those remain level 2. This is obviously only in Texas.

That said,fFor robotaxis, certainly for accidents that the robotaxi is deemed fully reaponsible, Tesla (or insurance?) will be liable.

Things like other vehicles, third-party interference, passenger misconduct, etc. will share or cover liability depending on the specifics.

Seems like Tesla will self insure, but that's not officially been stated yet.

“Tesla will self insure”

Wow. After all the enshittification he’s adding self-insurance to the steaming pile?

Who on earth is still buying shares in this madness and why?

Tesla has offered insurance on their vehicles since 2019, if they did self-insure the robitaxis, likely they would extend it through their existing insurance program.
