yes, but that doesn't explain why the underlying risk of insuring human drivers would rise. Nor does it explain why, since the underlying risk is the same, Progressive wouldn't offer lower rates than Geico's.

I suspect that the risk would actually lower for the remaining human drivers as the AI vehicles are probably going to be better at predicting and dodging our stupid mistakes, resulting in fewer accidents even if we don't improve our driving abilities.
