Self-driving car owners should NOT face crash blame, experts propose

Drivers will be renamed 'users-in-charge' when automated vehicles hit UK roads and will not be criminally liable if there is a crash, Government law experts have proposed in a new report.

It sure has.

The driving force (ignore the pun) is to do away with the driver altogether, replacing truck drivers, can drivers etc. The cost of fully automated cars will be too high for most of us in our lifetimes, but for a cab company even at £100,000 they will be good value, but to be cost effective the driver must be removed completely

Sue the manufacturer then? Surely if a safety system is not upto the job?

If injured you will be treated in the state hospital.
If injured more severely, and can no longer carry out the job assigned to you at birth, you will be reassigned with an attendant change in living status.
If injured too severely to work you will be offered the option of voluntary euthanasia or loss of citizenship and exile to the undeveloped zone.
As defined in the decrees of Life President Musk.

The way some folk drive it is hard to tell if they are in charge of the vehicle or the vehicle is in charge of them !

Works for me.... It took me to a sign in or subscribe page.
Wouldn't subscribe to the mail if it was law..... Waste of newsprint and paper.

Mostly from people who wont read it and believe what they hear from others

 

[68c]

But the mail does have the best puzzle page.

And there is the rub I guess the ‘economy’ whatever that is will benefit but for those who earn a living from Driving which for a lot of people on lower incomes will no longer be there. The government will need to consider paying a universal income to the population when most jobs go this way.
