Since that scenario it so rare, it typically hits the news.

Thankyou. Having the company pay monetary damages is simply a cost of doing business, and in the case of driverless cars if execs don't risk personal incarceration then of course beta testing will be on the road. There's no incentive to do otherwise.

Always, your mother-in-law.

If a driverless car kills someone, this is by definition a defect unless it is deemed legally acceptable for driverless cars to kill people in certain circumstances.

This will be optional to start with, then mandatory for anyone receiving a government payout such as welfare or pension.

Even more impressive, the Mach-E outsold every gas-powered Ford Mustang model in 2024.
