Title: Next Who will be blamed if a self-driving car has a crash
Post by: eye30 on March 08, 2018, 19:47:01: One of the biggest issues facing the introduction of self-driving cars is where blamed is placed if one is involved in an accident.

Does the responsibility lie with the vehicle owner, the car manufacturer or the firm that's developed the autonomous driving software?

This and more will be decided in the next three years, with the Government launching a new legal review to prepare the country for driverless cars hitting UK roads.

Hang about! The reason we are giving up the pleasure of driving our cars, is for the safety provided by these 'things'. :blubber:

As with high tech security, finger & palm print, retina scanning etc, there is still a HUMAN watching on in case someone pulls out an eyeball or a hand to gain access :lol: :crazy1:
