Keep in mind that there are already millions of lines of code running in modern cars. The worst-case failure mode of all that code would certainly result in loss of life, and legal liability on the part of the manufacturer/insurer/etc. So really the question is just how much automation we'll see in automobiles in the future, not if.
- joe_the_user 16y agoThe Toyota Pedal case certainly points towards liability demanding less code. If there was a automation feature that prevented accidents in 90% of the situations where a human would crash but caused an accident in a situation that was 10% as likely to occur as a human crash, the result would still huge liability since the manufacturer would "definitely" be at fault in the latter case.
