Are parking laws different for Taxis than for Ubers? Say in New York City? Lots of Taxis there so if Ubers are working under the same law, seems like an already solved problem. UPS have millions? of parking violations per year, yet it is still in operation.
- threeseed 7y agoYou're missing the point. Drivers own the liability for illegal parking. Autonomous cars would make the developer liable. No government is going to tolerate systemic and wide spread violation of the law.
- hawaiianbrah 7y agoI think “making the developer liable” is jumping to a conclusion that isn’t certain quite yet.
- dodobirdlord 7y agoWell, no company is going to be able to put in writing "Our plan is to have cars park illegally." Any system that gets built will be constrained by actually having to be law-abiding, which Uber drivers are not constrained by.
- robbrown451 7y agoSo the government is going to allow individuals to do it, but not the self driving cars? I don't see it working that way. It's just like self driving cars will go a bit over the speed limit if that is the flow of traffic. If they don't, then the laws will be adjusted. It would be silly to indefinitely hold back a huge industry because humans get to exploit legal loopholes but machines don't.
