Why It's Important
The race for autonomous vehicle supremacy is heating up, with Tesla and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) unit Waymo among the frontrunners.

Meanwhile, the debate over autonomous insurance continues, with investor Jim Chanos criticizing Tesla’s collaboration with Lemonade Inc. (NYSE:LMND) on reduced insurance rates for FSD-engaged driving. Chanos argues that true full self-driving will require manufacturers to bear liability, potentially reshaping the insurance landscape.
