I think the comments section here neatly summarizes how liability for any self-driving bugs will be foisted onto individual drivers.
This was once a big question mark for me - who would be liable in a self-driving crash, the driver or the manufacturer? Apparently individuals want to be liable. It's not clear whether this is the result of marketing or ideology.
- lvs 5y agoConsumer protection is weak in the US. In numerous cases of faulty products and negligent manufacturers, failures of regulatory agencies to intervene eventually escalates into class actions of victims, owners, or state AGs against manufacturers -- with variable outcomes. We've seen it with opioids, cigarettes, guns, diet pills, etc..
- krisoft 5y agoIt is not a self-driving car unless you can have a sleep in it while it takes you where you need to go in my opinion. :) Take a real self-driving car for example: a waymo taxi you are riding in rear-ends an other car. Do you think you will be responsible for it?
