minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•8 months agoAre we talking truly autonomous vehicles with no driver, or today’s “self-driving-but-keep-your-hands-on-the-wheel” type cars? In the case of the former, it should be absolutely the fault of the manufacturer.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•8 months agoSay there is a car with no human driver, that is being sold as requiring “no human input other than set destination, stop, and go”. If that vehicle crashes, you think the person who bought the car (the passenger) has legal liability, and not the manufacturer? That’s like being a passenger on a bus and getting sued if the bus driver hits a parked car.
