When a self driving car breaks the law, the CEO should get the demerit points on their own licence, and if they lose their licence, the cars can't drive anymore.

Man, holding the company financially accountable for all traffic violations would be magnificent.

It's a shame we're too stupid/weak to pull it off.

Somebody needs to be responsible, otherwise ban self driving until someone figures it out. Impound the vehicle if need be.

What? You can't just demand accountability from AI bros, that would destroy their whole business model.

That would be funny but better yet, the entire line of cars gets the feature deleted from them and customers are reimbursed the entire value of the car plus interest in exchange for having risked their lives testing an unstable and dangerous vehicle.

The second one of these cars cause a fatal collision due to wanton disregard of the law on part of the CEO, he should be held criminally liable.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

That has already happened…like a handful of times at least.

They shouldn't even be able to market it as self driving if they don't insure the self driving mode itself.

CEOs like you're talking about, they dont drive.

the only time they'll step behind the wheel of a car is for a pleasure cruise in some multi million dollar supercar on a track, or a closed / private road.

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

So what? Them driving is not relevant to this at all. The idea is that the cars they sell become illegal.
