> no responsibility for the owner Well, I meant “no responsibility for the passengers”. The owner should have some limited liability as you say, but primarily liability should be with the manufacturer. The way I view it AVs should have similar liability as an elevator. The manufacturer and the maintainer should have liability, but never the passengers. Ideally, the manufacturer keeps enough sensors on the thing such that the car doesn’t move without the proper maintenance. But at that point is it truly ownership? My preference is to just have many services competing that make them relatively cheap.
