So by your logic, human-piloted cars shouldn't be sold either, as humans are not able to detect things 100% of the time.

- gambiting 10y agoA human is not a component for the car - the car itself is not smarter than a knife or a gun - it's how you use it that defines the responsibility here. Or to put it in other words - if I run a red light by accident, then that's what it is - an accident. I'm still responsible for causing a crash if one happens, but there's nothing more I can do to improve my perception of surroundings(and we already do ban humans who are unfit for driving). If a self driving car runs a red light, because its sensor is only 99% accurate, then I'm pretty sure the company making it will be sued to oblivion, because they released something that does not work all of the time(and I am talking about normal operating conditions, not sensor malfunctioning).
