Self-driving cars should come with insurance included, since accidents aren't the owners fault.

You already have the option of paying extra for accidents that aren't your fault. Why would that be free now?
Currently insurance is on the driver, because accidents are their fault. In a self driving car, accidents are the manufacturers fault, so they should have the burden of insurance.

With a self driving car, you're really just a passenger, so you shouldn't need your own insurance to ride in one.
