Not the pedestrian

Or the “vehicle operator”.

This on the heels of legalizing them to operate on public roadways in some states.

Will be interesting to see where responsibility for autonomous vehicle accidents is placed in the future when everything is sorted out legally and there are millions of autonomous vehicles on the road.

Who’s at fault if your car goes rolling into someone’s house? Who’s at fault if your dog bites someone. Point is, the owner of the property will be at fault. Now, wether there you can sue the manufacturer for a defect in the product is on you.

Just another bump in the road......just saying!!!

Theyre already blaming the driver... and the pedestrian.
There was a driver who was supposed to take over if anything went wrong.

The pedestrian was not on a crosswalk.

Currently, if your car rolls into a house, it’s your fault. Because you control it. And you lost control. Same for your dog biting someone.

Are you sure the owner of an autonomous vehicle would be at fault? Why would anyone buy one instead of trusting themselves to drive safely if they’d be culpable for the actions of a machine outside of their control?

So the penalty for jaywalking is death?

They can blame the driver for now, but the driver of course won’t be there when full autonomy is achieved. Which will be the main selling point of autonomous vehicles. That letting the computer drive is safer and you can watch your cartoons on the way to work.
