If you think that liability issues pose a significant barrier to entry for self-driving cars getting to market, just wait until you consider robotically automated surgeries.
- eli_gottlieb 13y agoJust wait until the probability of error with a robot surgeon is lower than that of a human surgeon.
- eloisant 13y agoEven if it's lower, a single mistake from a robot surgeon will not be forgiven. That's the same problem with self-driving cars. I'm pretty sure that they're already safer than a human driver, but a single mortal accident for a technical problem will be all over the news and block any progress in legislation.
- chr1 13y agoDriving is different. Thought `robot is better driver than me` is much harder to accept than `robot is a better surgeon than someone i don't know`.
