It is exactly fair - if a drunk guy in Australia is driving one car. If he hits a child, that has no relevance to my life in EU. He will be arrested and dealt with.
But Tesla autopilot drives millions if cars. It if hits a child in Australia, it does not get arrested. Its also gonna drive over my children in EU.

- digbybk 3y agoThis is the advantage of self driving. If there is an error it gets fixed for all cars in the fleet. Humans have bugs - we get bored, we get distracted, we get angry, we thrill seek, etc - and we’ll never fix our bugs. Nor should we. Any technology that requires humans to be perfect all the time to be safe is an inhuman technology. I think people will look back at fully human drive cars, and the death rate we tolerate from it, with disbelief.
