Re: Self-Driving Trucks Are Going to Hit Us Like a Human-Driven Truck
The world needs to progress and we need to move on. There were people who were against the use of computers as well as it would lead to unemployment and many other factors but still the world has accepted it as a positive change. Similarly self driven cars might help to reduce the number of accidents and would be safer for people to cross the roads.
If the autonomous car is faulty and kills people, who will you hold responsible? Onboard CPU?
This is the tough question. You might hold whomever in government who authorized their use liable. Hold him/her liable personally and collect off their bond.
You will need to sit down and find out who is behind it. And you will need to be sure that the autopilot wasn't tampered with by the individual owner.
I wonder how long it will take for insurance companies to decide that they will insure such vehicles. If they do, the insurance might make it prohibitive to own and drive, in the beginning.
