Misaka Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 18 hours ago, Adminderaptorpat said: Yes, unless the state can pass a law that determines liability. But none of the parties you listed are going to say "yeah ok, pass a law that says I'm to blame if something happens" so without guidance from the courts, the legislative process would either get stuck or pass something based on the politics (like whoever doesn't lobby up gets stuck with the bill) rather than substantive policy repercussions. But like in my other example, sometimes it takes a while for courts to work out the best solution. This is fucking Michigan in a nutshell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sieg67 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) I don't blame the car at all. Self driving cars are suppose to have somebody behind the wheel paying attention at all times and was never meant to be trusted to completely. That's why the company put a human behind the wheel.
