Uber 'not liable' for self-driving death

  >The car's back-up driver could still face criminal charges. Wow, this is wild because this means that in every case from hereon out,there will have to be a decision of whether the driver or the car was at fault. I am sure whatever the outcome of this case is, it will set precedent for laws to be made in the future.

  > Further records from the streaming service Hulu suggested that Ms Vasquez had been streaming the TV show, The Voice, on a phone at the time of the crash. But isn't this exactly the kind of thing everyone expects to be doing in their "full self-driving cars" in the future? Will humans retain full liability for accidents and crashes when inside cars that advertise as self-driving? > The office did not explain its reasoning for finding Uber to be not criminally liable. Nothing suspicious there.

    > But isn't this exactly the kind of thing everyone expects to be doing Apples and oranges. I think the scenario here would be analogous to a shooting range hiring and training an instructor, and then the instructor accidentally shooting someone due to willful negligence.
