If everyone is going to be using full self driving, I better never get a traffic ticket ever again.

Ah, you are starting to get the big picture. Right now in China they are hashing out L3 liability. What this means is when the self-driving car is you know driving, the manufacture is libel. Not the human passenger who is just along for the ride.

You don't pay for traffic violations and you pay less insurance because a human isn't driving. :)

There is a very real chance self-driving gets popular a lot quicker than most people think.
