When a self driving car breaks the law, the CEO should get the demerit points on their own licence, and if they lose their licence, the cars can't drive anymore.

That would be funny but better yet, the entire line of cars gets the feature deleted from them and customers are reimbursed the entire value of the car plus interest in exchange for having risked their lives testing an unstable and dangerous vehicle.

Somebody needs to be responsible, otherwise ban self driving until someone figures it out. Impound the vehicle if need be.

What? You can't just demand accountability from AI bros, that would destroy their whole business model.

They shouldn't even be able to market it as self driving if they don't insure the self driving mode itself.

Man, holding the company financially accountable for all traffic violations would be magnificent.

It's a shame we're too stupid/weak to pull it off.

CEOs like you're talking about, they dont drive.

the only time they'll step behind the wheel of a car is for a pleasure cruise in some multi million dollar supercar on a track, or a closed / private road.
