I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla (and other autonomous driving providers) directly offer customers their own insurance and liability coverage. The auto insurance companies of the world see the writing on the wall, yet have no data to accurately model or price such a product. It might be a good thing too, since it providers a second layer of incentive to improve the underlying autonomy technology.
