>the ultimate responsibility of that vehicle and what it does lies on who is sitting behind the wheel While the law may still hold that position, reality is starting to disagree. When you have a car laden with 'assistive' technologies which are able to take control of brakes, throttle, and even steering - sometimes without human input, things start to get complicated. We have plenty of precedent already. Toyota's billion dollar unintended acceleration criminal liability case, the 'remote control' Jeep Cherokee case, the recent FBI advisory regarding security and safety of connected vehicles.. I find it very hard to agree with a blanket statement that the driver is responsible for everything a modern car does.
