There will be a point in time when an autopilot system will be no different in the minds of drivers than using seatbelts, having airbags or antilock brakes. Your risk is significantly less having it than not having it, when using it correctly. Once it reaches full autonomy, this will become obvious.
I could imagine that insurance rates will be cheaper for autopilot vehicles than non-autopilot vehicles, and that the cameras and computer systems will make the few traffic collisions simple for insurance companies in terms of determining who was at fault. I could imagine a future where it is mandated that everyone drive with autopilot engaged, no different than needing seat belts and air bags. In fact, cars without steering wheels are probably not far away--less than fifty years guaranteed, but probably much sooner.

Just as the government sucks the fun out of driving my best years will be behind me, great news.
Dystopian future is looking brighter everyday.
