It’s not about the car. It’s about all the assholes on here who would apparently jump at the chance to be a victim in hopes of an insurance payout, instead of simply avoiding an accident, as is their duty.

So, you’re a spineless liar. Congratulations, asshole.
Nope. And most assuredly, there are 360 cam views available of the incident.
You can choose to have them hit you, but, if in your example, you could have simply changed lanes or hit your brakes, and had sufficient time to consider and verify the safety of your options, then you are partly to blame at the instant where you have (1) verified you can safely avoid the collision, and (2) simply…
The robot is ‘the car’, and the operator of the car is, in part, the owner of the vehicle, and the programmer of the vehicle, since no human was actually driving.
Think about it this way: If I park my car illegally in the middle of a long, flat section of road in the middle of springtime Iowa with freshly tilled fields and a fifteen mile line of sight in every direction, and someone crashes straight into it, the driver of the car who hit my car is at fault, for failing to avoid…
The number of wannabe-victims on this planet is too damn high, and I’ve had enough of that whole line of reasoning. If you can prevent an accident, you take responsibility, like a decent human being.
No. I believe the journalist who was in the vehicle and experienced it all firsthand was telling the truth, and the PR person at the company who owns the vehicle was lying. That should be self evident.
IT WAS BOXED IN ACCORDING TO AN EMPLOYEE OF THE COMPANY WHO WAS SITTING AT A DESK MANY MILES AWAY, WHO WAS TASKED WITH DOING POST-HASTE PR DAMAGE CONTROL. IT’S A LIE, FORREST.
The company is lying. It wasn’t boxed in, per passengers first hand accounts.
You’re apparently not a lawyer, either. There’s something called the Last Clear Chance Doctrine, and it details your duty to avoid a preventable collision.
From the article above, which apparently no one but me can read:
It is the duty of the car’s programmers to program the car to avoid an accident whenever HUMANLY possible. Else, the car (and its programmers/owers) are partly to blame.
YES. BUT GUESS WHAT??? Drivers have a DUTY TO AVOID. That’s part of the law, too. Fail to act, under the Last Clear Chance doctrine, and you share the blame for an otherwise AVOIDABLE ACCIDENT.
Better than sucking one’s thumb waiting to see who will pay for your stupidity next...
YOU ARE EITHER ILLITERATE, STUPID, OR BOTH. WHICH IS IT?. IT WAS TOTALLY AVOIDABLE:
JUDGE: “Did you see the truck backing toward you?”
So, you’re the special kind of moron who would have sat there and let the truck hit you instead of so much as honking your horn. Presumably because you needed the ensuing insurance check to feed yourself, since you’re obviously too stupid and and irresponsible to get yourself to work on a daily basis.
