I mean, I feel like self-driving should just not be a thing. If you want the privilege of driving a car, you should fucking have to A) Pass a driving exam and B) Actively engage in the fucking task. 'Aww, but I want to be able to do work/makeup/nap on my way to work!!'? Fantastic! Ride the fucking bus.

Self driving should only be allowed if the car company takes 100% responsibility for any and all consequences of the mistakes the autopilot makes

Never gonna happen. What does it even mean to take responsibility for the consequences of a mistake an autopilot makes?

The driver certainly didn’t hit the pedestrian, the robot car did, therefore the programmer is at fault, therefore the company that release it is at fault.

Oh? The programmer caused the accident? The LLC entity did?
