You can arrest a driver for not making space for an emergency vehicle. Who do we arrest here?

That's the best part, no one! We have finally managed to invent a system that widely disperses accountability so much no one can be held liable when something goes wrong.

[abenga]

We've had this ever since Corporations were invented.

No, at the very least tort laws still apply even if the driver is a corporation. Do you really need someone sitting in jail to satisfy your justice boner?

[glennpratt]

Nobody gets arrested, you get a ticket.

I get that it is technically possible, but that doesn't happen in practice.

Start disabling and towing their cars and watch a solution magically appear.

Since corporations are people, presumably you’d arrest Waymo.

This is the key. Personally I think you just have to something similar to an auditor or whatever. Demand that if a self driving taxi operates in your city, they assign one legally responsible person per $major-division-of-city. All accidents in that region are due to that guy.

Naturally, this will incentivise them to improve the system that deals with edge cases in their ML model, and better yet you'll have the legally responsible guy shit himself and directly manage remote drivers for his location himself. Adds another layer of accountability.

The passenger

The person who was ultimately responsible for a defective robot operating on our public streets, at a bare minimum.

A customer?
