"In this case who's fault is it? The drivers , tesla or the safety board for allowing autopilots to be sold?"
Obviously the insurance. In Europe you need to have insurance to pay whenever is your fault.
With autopilot the only difference will be that the event of having an accident will be less probable. This means that paying the normal driver fee the insurance company will be making money if you autodrive.
But most of the time the fault will be on the other side, because the autopilot is not going to drive like a drunk or slept person. It will be deer or dogs or children on the road when they should not be there.
- danielmorozoff 10y agoI wouldn't be so quick to say insurance companies would pick up the tab. I don't know which country you're from but in the us getting insurance companies to pay for a claim is very hard and until a set of laws are established I would expect dramatic pushback from them. Furthermore in most accidents insurance companies try to seek out the party at fault if it's not crystal clear to avoid paying. But an interesting situation would occur if the incentives from the insurance companies would be directed towards automated driving because of reduced risks and costs to the driver. That would be an interesting scenario
