What you’re describing is bureaucratic lawyer mindset. As any low level functionary inside a bureaucratic organization will tell you, if you follow the rules with insane attention to detail, you can’t get in trouble. You can’t be blamed for anything.

Asking for software to use judgement is asking it to be sentient. No matter how well AI can fake an interaction and seem human, it can’t exercise judgment and no designer who doesn’t want a prison sentence or a career ending legal judgment would code anything like “judgment” into his software.

And whether or not you get a ticket for six miles per hour over the speed limit is a matter of the officer’s “judgement.” (Oh, and how far off he is from meeting his quota. I know they claim not to have quotas, but a high-ranking Florida Highway Patrol officer was fired for sending out a general email telling the ranks to meet their quota. Someone forwarded it to a reporter.)

An FSD Tesla has the experience of 10 billion miles driven

The unsupervised FSG 14.3 is linked via Starlink satellites to the TESLA AI computers that know all about dealing with school busses.

You suppose cars’ autopilots are “coded” using deterministic softwares. I highly doubt it!
They have AI for pattern recognition and even decision inference, which are by definition “judments” made by a black box. If wrong, please correct me.
