If the accident occurred due to a failure in the car’s automatic features such as a sensor malfunction or a decision making error, then shouldn’t the manufacturer or the company that developed the software be held accountable?
I think not. Manufacturing companies are going to maneuver their way out of the situation by saying that just like you don't come to them with responsibility for when your car breaks down, this is not their fault either. They'll try to frame whatever is wrong with the car to be your fault by pointing out things YOU might've done that resulted in the error that occured.
Companies like Uber and Bolt, which employ thousands across the country, could eventually opt for self-driving cars, displacing drivers who rely on these jobs to survive.
I didn't even think about this! Yo this is a very thought-provoking point.
The societal impact of such a shift could be far-reaching
Forget societal impact, the economic impact will be worse!
Maybe one day we’ll be chilling in our cars while they drive us to our destinations safely and efficiently but my grand parents or my mum will never enter that car
Or you'll arrive at your grandmother's funeral dead self-driving car yourself💀
