Well, as both houses and cars become ever smarter and increasingly autonomous, we may have the chance to put that to the test.

Though it seems that as our technology gets smarter more people are going in the opposing direction

So if you wreck your car then it doesn't matter, because the money you expended to buy the car and pay the auto workers is still in circulation?? Interesting logic...

would depend on what was learned from the wreck and how heavily insured you were.

Yes, but where does the insurance money come from?

Don't confuse money with value, or the wealth of an entire economy with the wealth of an individual.

Considering that I've paid $35 per month average or $420 per year over the last 15 years which Allstate has been ensuring my vehicle, I've paid them $6300 in premiums in that time period. Also considering that my 98 Durango is now worth $2500 if I totaled it, virtually all of the money I would see would come from premiums that I have paid them.

Isn't that just liability? You don't have collision on such an old vehicle, do you? If so, you'd get nothing for it.
