> I believe for the insurance purposes, this difference is irrelevant.

Can you explain this some more?

My understanding is that an insurance policy is valid in a certain set of circumstances.

They can argue that if you drive in in unintended conditions, it's your fault and they won't pay?

(But if it's true, it just make me want a self-drive car even less)

My insurance covers me driving any road in the US. I can't drive in Mexico but if it is a legal road in the US I can drive it any time. They assume i'm mostly driving near my house, but I can drive elsewhere.
