Commerical flying should not be equated to amateur driving. Amatuer flying does not require a second person or many other safety requirements. Commerical driving does have higher standards on number of hours , certifications etc Lack of adequate recurring certifications or poor standards does not absolve the driver of his responsibily towards himself and more importantly to others on and near the road, same as the pilot , inadequate oversight is not an excuse. driving a 2+ton vehicle that at the typical speeds can be fatal or cause major injury you are responsible period. Same for any other equipment or a pet

Once you get to L3 self-driving, you delegate full responsibility to the car, even if only under limited circumstances. Many L4 cars will not even have steering wheels or pedals, and won’t have a pilot’s seat. A lot of prototypes turn the front seats around to face the back row. Do you still believe that the driver is responsible under those circumstances? Anything L2 or under is a “driver assistance system”, and the driver maintains control and responsibility at all times. All of the systems in recreational or commercial aircraft today (autopilot, auto-land) are L2 or less. This is why it’s very critical that automakers not blur the lines to drivers. We are approaching an inflection point as to who is responsible behind the wheel, the car or the AI.
