Self Driving Cars Will Skew Safe Driver City Rankings And Your Insurance Rates

The annual ranking of the top cities in the United States for having the “safest” drivers has been recently published by Allstate Insurance, the chronicler of the America’s Best Driver’s Report. I’m sure that you want to know which cities have the best drivers and which ones have the worst.

Of the 200 cities listed, the “best” or topmost five in terms of being at the top of the list were:

For AVs to take off, they need to be much safer than people driving. If they are much safer, insurance rates will drop and if they don't there will be special insurance products just for AVs (similar to how Tesla launched their own insurance). That is the inevitable future.

Big cities versus small towns. It seems obvious the amount of traffic is an important variable.
