For the same reason they have the signs that say Student Driver. It lets everyone else know that this car might do something totally unexpected as the car is being controlled by a totally inexperienced operator.

Insurance frauds would target those vehicles.

Would they? I imagine those cars would be almost guaranteed to record the entire encounter.

I hope that if we do end up with most/many cars recording everything (with several sensors) we will at least get a “report reckless driver” button that will send the recording to highway patrol and be allowed as evidence.

So the new colour would let you know the car will move in entirely predictable ways based on billions of km driven, unlike the cars driven by crazy humans
