What will happen if a self driving car runs over a person?
The main question here is who do we blame, the owner of the car, the person who got ran over, or the car company. It really all depends on how the person got ran over, if that person was running around aimlessly or was not paying attention it should be their own fault. If the car had a problem due to poor maintenance, it should be the owners fault. If the car was well kept and it was not the person’s fault, the company should investigate to make sure their hardware is up to date and nothing is failing. This question is going to be a field trip for lawyers in the future, and it’s going to make justice hard as hell to obtained. On the bright side we will have self driving cars that will take us anywhere and eliminate traffic, since all of the are going to be in a shared grid. Elon Musk has a big headache headed his way. I think we should have cameras everywhere in the car, which Tesla is kinda doing already.
