Agree. Multiple people I know have bought Teslas because they don’t trust themselves or their spouses to drive safely, and want them to use FSD. There should be incentives to get people onto self driving.

Tesla cars are not capable of driving autonomously according to the company and regulators.

My dad doesn't care what the regulatory definition is, he just presses "Start Self-Driving" and off he goes.

"Driver intervention may be required in certain situations, such as on narrow roads with oncoming cars, in construction zones, or while going through complex intersections." "Always remember that Full Self-Driving (Supervised) (also known as Autosteer on City Streets) does not make Model S autonomous and requires a fully attentive driver who is ready to take immediate action at all times."

If self-driving is better, then presumably cheaper insurance costs would be an incentive.

Different states have different rules about what sort of things insurers are allowed to charge different rates for. In the states that allow it, Tesla does offer insurance discounts for FSD usage.[1] Lemonade also offers discounts for FSD usage.[2]

		California is one of those states that does not allow FSD usage to impact insurance rates
