Anyone expecting near-infallible self-driving car software should understand this is the state of software in cars. pbs.twimg.com/media/CjBp64VU…
Full disclosure: I have both driving and pilot licenses. The pilot in command idea is very important in flying and seems ignored in driving.
Pilots know that having an autopilot still demands they be responsible for their aircraft and passengers. Drivers should be no different.
Why self-driving cars still need drivers: we have had autopilots on airplanes for 50 years and the law still requires a pilot in command.
I predict that the legal system will require self-driving cars to have a responsible “pilot in command” for liability, just as with aircraft
Unlike the situation with cars driven by humans, you can’t sue an algorithm for an accident.
Prediction: Consumers will have second thoughts about self-driving cars when they see operators denying liability for injuries & accidents.
