Who Is Liable When a Self-Driving Car Crashes?
innocent_white_lamb writes "Current laws make the driver of a car responsible for any mayhem caused by that vehicle. But what happens when there is no driver? This article argues that the dream of a self-driving car is futile since the law requires that the driver is responsible for the operation of the vehicle. Therefore, even if a car is self-driving, you as the driver must stay alert and pay attention. No texting, no reading, no snoozing. So what's the point of a self-driving car if you can't relax or do something else while 'driving?'"
You know geekoid, this post could really substitute for evey other post you've ever made on Slashdot.
"You are not important, acting for the benefit of society is".
That's every geekoid post right there. But I do have to wonder what you think "society" is made of, if not these remarkably unimportant individuals. Do you see "society" as a moral entity in itself, having some moral value separate from the benefit of each individual, or something?
Socialism: a lie told by totalitarians and believed by fools.
