I wonder if they could shut him down on the basis of car insurance requirements and the legal definition of "driver". If "driver" is defined as the "person" inputting control commands, then either you dont consider the computer a person, and then nobody is legally "driving" the car, or else the software somehow meets the definition of a "person" or driver, in which case its an unlicensed driver operating the vehicle and insurance may not have to cover it.
- smallnamespace 10y agoThe NHTSA has been a strong proponent of self-driving technology and has gone out of its way to make sure there is a path to doing it legally, without pulling the legal 'gotcha' that you described here. The device would probably be SAE Level 2, and should be regulated as such.
