I'm thinking bigger than that. There are companies right now operating robotic taxis on American roads with no human operators on board. A car that may or may not even have a steering wheel arrives, a human passenger climbs into the back seat, and the car drives off with them. Who is legally responsible for the operation of that car? If it hurts someone, who do they sue? If it commits a crime, who do we punish?

I was under the impression those were pilot schemes.

But that's fair enough, in that situation - which is not the "Tesla driver playing video games" I think was under discussion before - someone does need to be declared responsible. I don't know the details of the agreements but I can imagine there isn't.
