Involuntary manslaughter usually refers to an unintentional killing that results from recklessness or criminal negligence, or from an unlawful act that is a misdemeanor or low-level felony (such as a DUI). (Wikipedia) It's rather uncontroversial that this kind of accident falls under civil law, because there is some degree of liability involved in marketing a product as being safer than a human driver, but then fails in an instance where a human driver flat out would not fail: apples to apples. If the human driver is paying attention, which the autonomous system is always doing, they'd never make this mistake. It could only be intentional. But more controversial and therefore more interesting to me, is to what degree the system is acting criminally, even if it's unintended, let alone if it is intended. Now imagine the insurance implications of such a finding of unintended killing. And even worse, imagine the total lack of even trying to make this argument. I think a prosecutor must criminally prosecute Tesla. If not this incident, in the near future. It's an area of law that needs to be aggressively pursued, and voters need to be extremely mindful of treating AI of any kind, with kid gloves, compared to how we've treated humans in the same circumstances.
