• Insurance and self driving 12 Sep 2021 (Forum)
  Having just renewed my insurance policy and deciding to go with another company, I was reading my policy documents ( as I’m sure everyone on here does) when I came to a section about automated self driving cars, it says I won’t be covered if I have an accident if the car is driving itself, I don’t have a self driving car, or do I.?, my car can park itself, either reversing into a space ( used it twice) or parallel parking ( not tried it) , now I still have to use the accelerator and brake but the car does everything else, now is this classed as self driving, yes I know it’s only parking, but if I have an accident and have to claim whilst using this feature would I be covered..?

• Warranties 14 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  Hypothetical question: If I buy a used car with remainder of the maker's warranty from a dealer, but not a dealer working for the maker - who is responsible for any faults?
