Should be no problem at all to get insurance for an automated vehicle barreling down I-80 grossing 78000 lb at 70 mph.

No problem what so ever....

I suspect that we are going to find that accidents will go down with automated trucks. These things are loaded with redundant sensors and cameras and computing power. They won’t get sleepy or ill or distracted and will have “eyes” looking in every direction.

More importantly the trucks won’t be texting or checking Facebook.

No worse than insuring a trucker with diabetes or sleep apnea. A big firm might even be self-insuring.
