Economist: Self-driving cars offer huge benefits—but have a dark side

[suburbanite]

As autonomous vehicles gain popularity, and assuming they have a much lower accident rate than manual drivers, it will probably put financial pressure on the holdouts who refuse to be driven by a robot.

As the pool of insured manual drivers dwindles, premiums could rise to the point where manual driving is reserved for those who are in it for the experience. ie. driving performance cars where cost isn't an issue.
