I think what we need is NTSB style investigations for every incident involving a self driving car.
An independent regulatory agency should secure the data, interpret it, and provide recommendations.
If this were an aircraft crash you wouldn’t have the designer/operator/manufacturer/maintainer (the same entity in all four roles) massage videos and hold presentations. You would have a competent and independent flyaway team secure the evidence and analyse it.
This is fundamentally in the best interest of the self driving companies themselves too.
- bombcar 3y agoNTSB already investigates certain “commercial” incidents (usually involving railroads or busses but sometimes other transportation). Self-driving cars should certainly be investigated, even if it’s mostly just a cursory “can we file this as user error” - as the self-driving part is a commercial operation. As it is the NTSB already records data on various aspects of driving incidents and sometimes notices something and investigates. It’s why it’s worth reporting if you notice safety issues.
