Wait till people start getting into accidents in these robotaxis. It’s already a complete disaster for Uber. Do you know what it takes to get coverage as a passenger if your Uber driver is an idiot? With current administration going the wild wild west route to complete deregulation, robotaxis will be very rough.

Coverage as a passenger? For what?

    If you are riding in a Lyft and get hurt (and the Lyft is at fault), it's Lyft's medical insurance company that pays out for your medical care. Same as it is for all other auto insurance.

    It's a pretty delayed process because unless the Lyft hit a tree there's usually at least two vehicles involved in the crash and the insurance companies have to fight over fault. But they do eventually pay out.
