Long, long ways off.
At least 20-30 years.
There'll still be tons of dumbasses that can't drive, truckers that are idiots, and let's not forget drunks (who cause 2/3 of automobile-related fatalities now).
Driverless technology is expensive and it will take a long time to make it to the masses.

Contested successions may be worse than family law. I get calls about them all the time. Refer them out to lawyers who specialize in it.

maybe for the total takeover
but it won't take a total takeover to destroy the "personal injury via automobiles" industry

IDK, I think those guys are set for a long while.
Had lunch with my attorney and friend last week...
We talked a lot about MB and why he was "successful".
Interesting conversation.

Is the name of your attorney friend Jimmy McGill?

It's extremely too easy for a lawyer and doctor to walk away with $20K each from a routine accident with zero injuries for them to stop
Could you please guide me to where these docs can make an easy $20k from a routine accident? I need some extra vacation money.
Thanks

You guys are crazy if you think it will be sooner than 50 years before this happens. If at all.
Besides, people will always have to sue each other for personal damages for something.

The presence of large numbers of autonomous vehicles is much farther off than 10-15 years.
One thing that can cut down on the number of frivolous lawsuits are in-car mounted video cameras.
These are in widespread use in many other countries.

Agree.
I feel like we will see those as options from the OEM very soon.

Maybe, but you think every Tom, Dick, and Harry is going to be able to afford these things? I have a vehicle now that will automatically brake if you are approaching an object at a fast speed. But I'm going to assume that maybe 10% of the population would pay for a vehicle at that price. If anything, there will be a new litigation frenzy suing the makers of these cars when one malfunctions and kills a family of 5.

I think he's right about the timeframe in terms of the sale date.
Much like Tesla now, they will be novelty for a long while.

The low income driver that is likely to sue is usually driving a 10-15 year old auto. Take your 5 year projection and add 10-15 years for them to catch up.

quote:Had a similar thing happen to my mother. She had an aunt and uncle with no children, and she was like a daughter to them. Uncle tells her they're leaving everything to her in his will. He died first, then aunt dies years later. Will is gone, but a new will is found and everything goes to a great niece. House and a couple hundred acres of land.
It's an issue. My uncle took an altered will to my dementia ridden grandmother and had her sign it giving him a house and a huge piece of land. My mother and aunt tried to fight it but it got to be too expensive in lawyer fees.

While I agree with your attorney friend on car accident litigation, I don't think successions is "the future". Areas like tax, health care, and ERISA have seen bigger jumps in recent years than successions.

My girlfriend is in the process of finally wrapping up one of these, after about two years of fighting.. It was hell. She's the one who took care of both her parents, then when it's time to divide up the property, her siblings swoop in demanding their share, and then some. She probably won't ever speak to them after this is over.

sue whom? the person driving the driverless car that didn't make a mistake?
and when those non-poor people are removed from the pool, there will be exponential ripple effects because every year more driverless cars will be out there, removing more from the pool, and on the flip side, more "poor" people will be the ones who can be sued
those people will have low/min policies, if any insurance. there will be some money to be made but it's going to take a major hit

And how long would they need to be in production before YOU buy one? I can only speak for myself, but it would take a looong time before I pack up the wife and kids for a long road trip, set the cruise control and kick back and relax.
