There's no penalty if they get it wrong and kill someone.
No exec that killed the spending on better/more sensors for more profit will be punished, certainly not jail.
No coder or their manager that missed any bug will be punished or go to jail.
So why would they even worry about it? One less thing.
- Aloisius 2y agoThe driver is responsible for their vehicle, not the technology designed to try to prevent them from running people over. Jailing developers because it's not perfect sounds like an excellent way to prevent new safety technology from ever being developed again. Considering we rarely jail drivers for killing people, the idea of jailing developers for failing to prevent drivers from killing people sounds nuts.

These are not self-driving features, they're an assist to make up for shitty drivers and shitty pedestrians. These features basically only exist for the occasions when two dumbasses meet: An inattentive driver meets a pedestrian that doesn't check for oncoming traffic before crossing the road.
