algo writer should not be liable, unless it's gross negligence or conscious cover up (like VW cases).
However, i can imagine a set of guideliness adopted into industry which involves slow rollouts of updates (potentially in a multivariate testing manner controlling for speed variance/distribution, response time, collision proximity (?) or collisions avoided, distance traveled, user comfort score, and so on. In other words, due diligence must be done, before rolling out new releases.
- TuringNYC 9y agoYour response makes sense, but that is usually not how the legal system works...i'm curious if all sorts of tangentially or abstractly related parties will be pulled into many lawsuits and then promptly dropped. No ultimate impact w/r/t/ judgements, but a lot of wasted time and legal defense costs.
- tehlike 9y agoFor sure. I can imagine businesses simply outsourcing the legal costs to insurance companies.
