The poster, camjohnson26, did not say die, the poster said crash.
Camjohnson26's point as I understood it was to compare two situations:
1. A crash that occurs because one of the drivers was extreme drunk,
2. A crash that occurs because of an autopilot in one of vehicles did not make the current action.
In the first case most people and the legal system will likely conclude that the drunk driver was at fault. In the second case it will be more difficult to determine who was at fault. This second case may add legal, insurance and ethical complications that camjohnson26 wishes to avoid. For instance what if your insurance decides you are at fault for activating the autopilot under unsafe conditions?
- Domenic_S 7y ago> what if your insurance decides you are at fault for activating the autopilot under unsafe conditions? Seems reasonable to me. The driver is always responsible.
- EthanHeilman 7y agoWhich driver? How do you determine it was actually the autopilot that caused the crash? What if it wasn't the autopilot?
