- ben_w 4y ago"Never" is a long time. Given the explanations I've been given for why demonstration videos of general purpose vision-based robots are still often sped up x4 or more (despite Tesla and Spot), I have to assume it's at least a few years away yet, but that's not never.
- kergonath 4y agoThe human will always be responsible. There is no way the manufacturers are going to accept liability in case their self driving car has an accident.
- ailun 4y agoI remember hearing something different. Seems like Mercedes is moving in that direction. https://insideevs.com/news/575160/mercedes-accepts-legal-responsibility-drive-pilot/ https://insideevs.com/news/575160/mercedes-accepts-legal-res...
- kergonath 4y agoInteresting. I’ll be happy to eat my hat in a couple of years, but I don’t think this will be generalised.
- ben_w 4y agoEven if so, they may be forced to do so for the right to market the vehicle as self driving. I would favour this.
- amrocha 4y agoEven if legally you're not culpable, you're still responsible for choosing to use a death machine in an environment where it can cause harm to others.
