No, it probably will. In the same way that you are not liabile for any accidents if you are a passenger in a taxi. It will take some time for legal scholars to work out all the details (e.g. gross negligence, etc), but it is very obvious that passengers in fully autonomous vehicles cannot be legally liable to the same extent that drivers are liable today.
- dragonwriter 8y ago> In the same way that you are not liabile for any accidents if you are a passenger in a taxi. A passenger is neither an owner, an operator, nor a manufacturer of a taxi. Owners, operators, and manufacturers tend to be liable; passengers not under normal circumstances. If I get hit by a bus (to escape the taxi situation where the operator is usually the owner), the bus driver, bus line, and bus manufacturer can all be liable. Replacing the operator with a piece of equipment manufactured by the manufacturer and maintained by the owner takes the driver out of the equation, but there is no logical reason why it would remove liability from the owner.
