Why is it everyone else's responsibility to accommodate automated cars?

• JoeAltmaier 3y ago
  Kind of the exact opposite of what I was getting at. Anyway, automated cars are inevitable. Making them respect the law, avoid emergency vehicles, stay out of restricted areas and so on is fundamental to coexisting. We can complain about how they can't do it right, or we can make it dead simple (and inexpensive) to get it right. Then fine them like crazy if they fail. The idea is to make it safe for everybody. Not to assign blame.

    Actually we don't have to make it simple. We just fine them like crazy if they fail. AND make sure the company has no waiver against passenger lawsuits. Then you just let the market decide - get it right or go bankrupt.

      ...because? It would be wrong to reduce accidents and improve road safety?
