Would you also propose driving license suspensions for drivers that fail to move out of the way for emergency vehicles or illegally double-parked a vehicle and blocked passage of an emergency vehicle?
- apendleton 3y agoMaybe not on first offense, but after a demonstrated repeated pattern of interfering with emergency vehicles, sure, why not?
- twoWhlsGud 3y agoPerhaps because in the absence of the kind of alternative route to getting to work that autonomous cars offer, no one in (the US at least) is going to levy an economic death sentence for something that serious?
- InitialLastName 3y agoI'm so tired of this tail-wagging-the-dog excuse. It's so hard to operate in (parts of) our society without a car that we can't meaningfully hold drivers responsible for their bad behavior, or keep people who show a repeated disregard for their responsibility in operating dangerous machinery off the road?
- monkaiju 3y agoA) yes B) its a false dichotomy to apply the standards to humans, which perceive, learn, and think, as we do to a software product
- int3 3y agosoftware does all of the above

- daveguy 3y agoWhy is it a false dichotomy to hold software products to the same standard humans are held to? That seems less like a dichotomy of any kind and more like a consistent policy.
- callalex 3y agoHumans can also be punished and sent to jail.
- aeternum 3y agoWe generally do not send people to jail for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. We do ticket and fine them, which you can also do to automated vehicles.
- cryptoz 3y agoI’m not the commenter above but, something must be done about serial lawbreaking drivers. I see maybe 100 cars per day run stop signs, red lights, speeding excessively, and other dangerous driving actions with no consequences. There needs to be some enforcement and yes I would suggest suspension if it is found that the behavior is habitual for a driver.
- rando_dfad 3y agoHow many of these are police officers (in non-emergency situations)
- jabroni_salad 3y agoOne of the scenarios in the article was the responder trying to wave the car back while the car was very insistent that it really needed to run over these fire hoses right now. A motorist wouldn't just be suspended, they would go to jail and have their car impounded. Actually, maybe it should be tow operators and not first responders with surprise driver privileges. We'll have 100% compliance real quick if those are the guys watching out.
