[/quote] By definition blame cannot be assigned in an [i]accident[/i]. Why does somebody need to be blamed? [/quote] Well by accidentally I mean by technical error of the automatic car it mistakes a red light for green or something. [/quote] Yeah, but the car also uses radar type devices for driving. Also, people die on the roads all the time, and we are accustomed to it, and haven't banned driving. Why would this be any different? As long as the accident rate per driven mile is lower than the human average, then it's all fine and dandy with me. [/quote]
Original Message
Not long ago, self-driving cars seemed like science fiction. But Google is now operating so-called autonomous cars in California and Nevada, and last week at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Toyota and Audi unveiled prototypes for self-driving cars to sell to ordinary car buyers. (Google co-founder Sergey Brin said last year he expects his company to have them ready for the general public within five years.) In a report backing self-driving cars, the consulting firm KPMG and the Center for Automotive Research recently predicted that driving is “on the brink of a new technological revolution.”
