I saw a headline about Mercedes offering an autopilot that doesn’t require the driver to monitor, so it’s going to be interesting to see how laws play out. The Waymo taxi service in Phoenix seems to occasionally run in with the law, and a remote service advisor has to field the call, advising the officer the company is responsible for the car’s behavior, not the passenger.
So in theory the manufacturer takes responsibility because they trust their software. This puts the oness on them and their insurance, thereby reducing your insurance considerably. In actuality your insurance doesn’t go down because insurance companies.
It’s the reason why they prefer to offer only assistence systems. Aside from warning they can act, but they don’t drive on there own. EU will even require some systems for new cars. They’ll especially annoy people who ignore speed limits and don’t use turn lights.
Nope, it should be law that if an auto manufacturer sells an autonomous driving system that they advertise being able to use while driving distracted then they are liable if someone uses it as advertised and per instructions.
What you wrote is probably an auto manufacturer executive’s wet dream.
“You used our autonomous system to drive you home after drinking completely within advertised use and per manufacturer instructions and still got in an accident? Oh well tough shit the driver is liable for everything no matter what™️”
I hope this isn’t law anywhere. You’re liable for your car no matter what. You have to take control if necessary

I’m not trying to be the grammar police, just thought you might like to know that it’s “onus”.
I’m and idiot. But I shall leave it for the sake of posterity. Thank you.

So I say it is law last time I’ve checked (which is a while back tbh), and you say “no, it should be law” in your opinion. You see it, right?
Autonomous systems aren’t that trustworthy yet and you shouldn’t drive drunk with them. Are they really advertised that way?
Some auto makers have said they will accept liability… https://www.thedrive.com/tech/455/volvo-accepting-full-liability-in-autonomous-car-crashes
