People will still want and demand car insurance. Stuff still happens, and I want my car and injuries paid for. So they'll still be around. It may be a smaller industry, but it won't kill them.


> People will still want car insurance.

I wasn't aware they wanted it now. People buy it because they are legally obliged to.


I don't keep enough cash to go out and replace my daily driver, in kind, today. Even if it was someone else's fault and they're eventually required to remunerate me for the loss, that can take months.

People don't like the cost, but they like the benefits when they need it.


AppleCare still sells well without a legal obligation. People tend to be risk averse, and prefer to pay a little bit now to avoid paying a lot later.
