GEICO has closed all of its 38 California agent offices that sell auto and homeowners policies and other lines and has also ended the practice of selling insurance through telephone agents in the state.

They’re not pulling out of the state entirely, they’re just closing the sales offices. Claims and payment are already dealt with online and over the phone *anyway*.
Nail on the head!
I think the first were Uber and Lyft.
