until now.
but what’s the fatality ratio now? There can’t be more than a handful of those cars in the world.
Something is wrong with the algorithm that Uber is using because something unexpectedly entering the vehicle’s path is pretty much the first emergency event that self driving car engineers look at. The entire car has essentially been designed around preventing exactly this situation from occurring. Beyond this case there does need to be a more universal understanding of what safe driving operations and parameters actually are. Without a more rigorous mathematical framework for determining fault, liability really is going to be arbitrarily determined by the legal department, or state regulators, or engineers themselves.
