      People get jail time, what do we do with machines?

      Hold the manufacturers and operators (specifically for company operated) accountable?

      The machine is the product, not the operator. We don’t jail classic cars either. We hold their operators accountable. The one in control. Self driving has a shift of who is in control - now “indirectly”.

        Accountable for what killing a stray cat? Come on if you don’t want your cat to be hit keep it inside. I don’t get how people think it’s ok for a cat to wander. Even though it’s probably illegal.

        if only that were the truth.

        these companies will attempt to settle for bottom dollar or drag it out so long you’ll have to go homeless to pay the legal fees.

        there is no justice left in the legal system. justice isn’t just blind anymore, she’s been decapitated.
