The general rule among insurance companies in the United States is that if the airbags are deployed during an accident, the battery should be written off, regardless of how severe the damage to the vehicle is and whether the vehicle remains drivable
Yes. The "damage score" for telephone poles should be very high. In fact you should never crash a car into them under any circumstance. Even battle tanks go around them whenever possible.
Your Damage score depends on who you are; Mguy is Net Zero - oh no! Don't go to San Fransico, LA, Pheonix or Austin MGuy!. The true problem is they don't micro map alleys - they are not suppose to drive alleys; just those streets that are micro mapped. If something new is in place; like a man hole cover removed - Waymo may just drive right in unless it sees the object in it's radar. Did the Ipace have a radar? Seems like it did? Anyway - just one more bit of trouble for self driving. Do try to keep a high profile in those cities. One fellow on TH-cam wears a shirt that has a Stop Sign on it; that works!

An E.V. that accelerates from 0 to damage/death in 4+/- seconds in the hands of inept people is such a good idea. Mandatory speed and slowness regulation is a necessity for E.V.’s. Also limit top speed to 90mph. Higher insurance rates for E.V.’s are just a part of the ownership structure.
This idea is still just a fertilized egg. Complex software no where near ready for prime time. I am so glad that I can live in the North Georgia mountains (actually there aren’t any south Georgia mountains... prolly should say Georgia mountains) where there isn’t any waymo or what ever it is called
"Updating with a higher damage score" this implies there is a hierarchy of stationary things (and maybe slow moving things?) they would absolutely hit if they thought it wouldn't incur too much damage?
I renewed our car insurance for a new ICE car just a few days ago. When I reconfigured my contract for a Tesla m3 it was 200% of what we pay now for our new ICE car. The difference pays for the "ICE car" tax and and a few stops at the petrol station. While I can still stay in home office, this is all the petrol I need in a year ... ( Fun fact: In some local towns a special permit to park on the streets near your downtown appartment is required. This permit which doesn't guarantee you a free parking slot now is nearly as expensive as the rent for a garage !)

Standardizing battery information for all EV makes and models? Boloney! Even something as simple as a tire's bolt pattern has never been standardized in the hundred-plus-year history of the automobile!
I love your content MGuy, I lost my 2012 F250 work truck this week. Catastrophic failure in the engine, 5.7 L gas, 106k hard miles on it!! Just picked up my brand new 2024 F250 with a gas powerplant. Oh, by the way, there were no electric options in the show room lol.... I don't think if they had offered me a free EV I would've gone with it😂😂
Here in the United States It's not just EV insurance premiums that have gone up....regular gas & diesel vehicle insurance has SKYROCKETED because of EV's being so damn expensive to repair and/or the insurance Co. just totaling the vehicle. I have a Chevrolet and Jeep both just several years old and when i renewed our policy about 9 months ago my premium was over 40% higher. I have had NO traffic tickets...... NO crashes and NO other types of claims...my wife also had NO tickets.....NO crashes and NO other claims. These types of increases are HIGHWAY ROBBERY and they are just going to continue to SKYROCKET!!!! These ELECTRIC VEHICLES need to have their own insurance companies that specialize in them because the rest of us are having to bear the brunt of their expenses by paying our premiums!!!!!
I started to study this ECHR ruling. Indeed, it is a complex case, however, be aware that the individual women in this case are NOT considered as "victims". All individual women in this case are old and all(!) suffer from serious physical "old age" inconveniences like heart issues and/or asthma. My grandmother didn't like "hot" summer days (60 years ago!). I am not far enough studying to give a opinion why the ECHR accepts the IPCC as a reliable source of information, since it is well known that the IPCC reports are political reports and not science based.
The funny thing about the insurance is it really drives home the fallacy about EVs being cheaper. I was talking to a satisfied owner of an EV yesterday and his calculation was that charging at home costs him 1/12 and superchargers cost 1/2 of a conventional vehicle. Okay. But consider the purchase price of the vehicle, depreciation, and insurance and you have just moved the cost without saving money. If you add even $100 to my monthly premium for an EV over my rather sporty ICE car I would loose money. It was particularly funny when one commenter tried to convince me the Polestar 5 would be a perfect replacement for me and save me money.... ignoring the $70,000 difference in purchase price, the insurance, and the problem that the advertised range doesn't even meet my normal driving range. If EVs work for some people, excellent. My 2 + kind of 2 seat sports car defiantly isn't a good vehicle for everyone so everyone can buy the car that works for their needs and let the market decide.
Indeed. My cousin purchased the Hyundai Kona EV, for which the retail price in Australia now is between $58,914 and $73,614. I think she paid about $65k for it several years ago. But you can buy a petrol version of the Kona for $39,969, which is at least a $19k difference for the bottom end of both ranges. At what point do these clowns think they're saving money after factoring in additional purchase price, cost of charging (even at home on solar), increased insurance premiums, more expensive and more frequently-changed tyres, depreciation that'd make a crooked accountant blush, and the price of a new new battery? When he drove to visit my father (a 600km trip one way), he had stop around Perth to charge so he could make it. I rented a Kona last year and after 600km it still had plenty of range left and I only filled up because I needed to return it. As is always the case with these people, his "real transport vehicle" is a top-of-the-line diesel Toyota. The Kona is essentially an expensive toy, and he could have accrued more social clout by buying a premium remote control car.
@@australiainfelix7307 The worst part about that is it is a Hyundai. Under the best conditions it will be falling apart badly just as soon as the warranty expires, as Hyundais and Kias do.

Wow! They're like Johnny Cab from the movie Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger. After the cab hit the pole did a robot voice say "thank you for choosing johnny Cab!"
All cars and parts are imported into Australia these days, not just EV parts. So being imported is not a reason for EV car insurance to be more expensive.
You forgot the cost of an EV fire that destroys other cars around it, melts roads and bridges and even burns whole multistorey car parks down, it is estimated that up to 1,200 cars could have been destroyed in the blaze. Average Repair Cost (£),1,860,000. I think that's only the vehicles, the cost of the whole car park not included, we had one at a local shopping center and that's been closed ever since, for a few years now.

The steering and braking decisions are made months ago by a cheap programmer in the office, rather than by a skilled human, with eyes open, inside the car at the critical moment.
People should wear T-shirts with a stop sign on them to confuse these cars.
Standardizing battery information for all EV makes and models? Boloney! Even something as simple as a tire's bolt pattern has never been standardized in the hundred-plus-year history of the automobile!
🤣Damage Score? So, what number is acceptable? 🤪 Video Game programmers writing this shit?
Yes, your health bar drops by 25% per hit but if you drive over a spanner then it goes back up to 100
Driverless cars are rolling lawsuits.
In some States, ALL of us will be tagged with higher premiums as they spread the pain around.
Should be "WHAMMO!"
How is any city government still allowing this sort of thing? Surely the city can be sued for allowing these if people are killed?
I love your content MGuy, I lost my 2012 F250 work truck this week. Catastrophic failure in the engine, 5.7 L gas, 106k hard miles on it!! Just picked up my brand new 2024 F250 with a gas powerplant. Oh, by the way, there were no electric options in the show room lol.... I don't think if they had offered me a free EV I would've gone with it😂😂
People overestimate the capabilities of AI. They cannot fully automate trains on a track and they expect to have driverless cars? This is bullshit.
Thank you
Surely a telegraph pole is super similar to a person standing by the side of the road. Maybe they will have to tweak the damage score for a person.
Not the car's fault. That pole was jaywalking
You would think they would build self driving train to start with in the UK we have dock lands light railway that self driving that it?
let's just imagine if 500.000 Teslas in US got full selfdriving mode later this year for their Robo Taxi dream
I cannot believe a self driving company would pick San Francisco to learn to drive in. It’s a hardest city in the world to drive in I swear.
Neglecting to research insurance premiums prior to purchasing a vehicle is a prime example of "A fool and his money are soon parted".
Here in the United States It's not just EV insurance premiums that have gone up....regular gas & diesel vehicle insurance has SKYROCKETED because of EV's being so damn expensive to repair and/or the insurance Co. just totaling the vehicle. I have a Chevrolet and Jeep both just several years old and when i renewed our policy about 9 months ago my premium was over 40% higher. I have had NO traffic tickets...... NO crashes and NO other types of claims...my wife also had NO tickets.....NO crashes and NO other claims. These types of increases are HIGHWAY ROBBERY and they are just going to continue to SKYROCKET!!!! These ELECTRIC VEHICLES need to have their own insurance companies that specialize in them because the rest of us are having to bear the brunt of their expenses by paying our premiums!!!!!
We should be making people more aware of the environmental damage done by the manufacture of EVs.....
My drivers Ed teacher would tell us how important it is to make eye contact with other drivers. How does that work with these assassin's 🚖
Excellent video.
I’m keeping my ‘02 Ram.
I just bought a new RAM 3500 for $72,000 for the added size to shield myself from these bombs on wheels.
Whammo...
I started to study this ECHR ruling. Indeed, it is a complex case, however, be aware that the individual women in this case are NOT considered as "victims". All individual women in this case are old and all(!) suffer from serious physical "old age" inconveniences like heart issues and/or asthma. My grandmother didn't like "hot" summer days (60 years ago!). I am not far enough studying to give a opinion why the ECHR accepts the IPCC as a reliable source of information, since it is well known that the IPCC reports are political reports and not science based.
Sounds about right
If a telephone pole hasn't got a high enough damage score, what about a three year old child?
In upside-down land, where I am from lol - they pronounce it "BEEta tisting". Your life, is a beeta tist. rofl. Strength! GODsp33d!
The funny thing about the insurance is it really drives home the fallacy about EVs being cheaper. I was talking to a satisfied owner of an EV yesterday and his calculation was that charging at home costs him 1/12 and superchargers cost 1/2 of a conventional vehicle. Okay. But consider the purchase price of the vehicle, depreciation, and insurance and you have just moved the cost without saving money. If you add even $100 to my monthly premium for an EV over my rather sporty ICE car I would loose money. It was particularly funny when one commenter tried to convince me the Polestar 5 would be a perfect replacement for me and save me money.... ignoring the $70,000 difference in purchase price, the insurance, and the problem that the advertised range doesn't even meet my normal driving range. If EVs work for some people, excellent. My 2 + kind of 2 seat sports car defiantly isn't a good vehicle for everyone so everyone can buy the car that works for their needs and let the market decide.
Indeed. My cousin purchased the Hyundai Kona EV, for which the retail price in Australia now is between $58,914 and $73,614. I think she paid about $65k for it several years ago. But you can buy a petrol version of the Kona for $39,969, which is at least a $19k difference for the bottom end of both ranges. At what point do these clowns think they're saving money after factoring in additional purchase price, cost of charging (even at home on solar), increased insurance premiums, more expensive and more frequently-changed tyres, depreciation that'd make a crooked accountant blush, and the price of a new new battery? When he drove to visit my father (a 600km trip one way), he had stop around Perth to charge so he could make it. I rented a Kona last year and after 600km it still had plenty of range left and I only filled up because I needed to return it. As is always the case with these people, his "real transport vehicle" is a top-of-the-line diesel Toyota. The Kona is essentially an expensive toy, and he could have accrued more social clout by buying a premium remote control car.
@@australiainfelix7307 The worst part about that is it is a Hyundai. Under the best conditions it will be falling apart badly just as soon as the warranty expires, as Hyundais and Kias do.
Who pays the insurance if your own car injures or kills you?
Ad preceding this is for some type of new EV charger...you couldn't write the lack of self reflection on youtube
Domestic energy production is being replaced by Chinese manufacturing and mining?
The goal is permanent-blackout.
Manufacturing and mining consume energy; so how can they replace energy production?
@@simoncrooke1644 PV panels, wind generators, inverters and bigger transformers plus batteries and recycling - it is somehow "green" and it gets us away from crude oil burning (not manufacturing with crude oil like asphalt) or relying on the gas oil and coal that we already depend on for tax revenue. It is all talk, as no one can afford it, otherwise we would have made more progress trying to energize the grid with DC.
Wow! They're like Johnny Cab from the movie Running Man with Arnold Schwarzenegger. After the cab hit the pole did a robot voice say "thank you for choosing johnny Cab!"
self drive cars open up the possibility of you being abducted by your car, as you are no longer in control....
All cars and parts are imported into Australia these days, not just EV parts. So being imported is not a reason for EV car insurance to be more expensive.
Sounds like companies like Waymo are trying to turn the movie 'The Car' into a documentary.
You forgot the cost of an EV fire that destroys other cars around it, melts roads and bridges and even burns whole multistorey car parks down, it is estimated that up to 1,200 cars could have been destroyed in the blaze. Average Repair Cost (£),1,860,000. I think that's only the vehicles, the cost of the whole car park not included, we had one at a local shopping center and that's been closed ever since, for a few years now.
I was nearly hit by a car-less driver the other day, this mad pedestrian wasn’t taking prisoners and would have walked straight into me if I hadn’t kicked him in the bolos. “Update that with a risk category”, I told him!
As someone who was a computer program developer for decades, *there is NO way I will ever get in a car driven by a computer.*
I have jumped out of aircraft, solo sailed an ocean, raced cars and motor bikes... but self-drive cars are a step too far. 💩
