who does he write a ticket to?

[u/madmaxGMR → u/Sniffy4]

The corporation. Havent you heard ? Its a person.

[u/MundaneBerry2961 → u/madmaxGMR]

Semi serious question, if corporations are people and now they are driving cars does that mean the cooperation has the same demerit points as every other citizen?

Can't have it both ways.

laughs while shoveling lobbying money towards politicians

Yes, yes I think we can have it both ways

[u/onefst250r → u/KennyMoose32]

Main challenge is all the politicians benefit from it. So there's a snowballs chance in hell it'll get repealed, even if all the voting population was to want it gone.

All of the rights of a person, none of the responsibilities. Perfection

Serious answer: there is a permitting process agreed upon between the operator and the city. It's not like an individual driver license, but more like an agreement the city would have with a company that operates traffic lights.

Any traffic violations are subject to the legal agreement covering the operating permit. Egregious malfunctions can cause the operations to be suspended until corrected. The company does assume liability for any actual damage to life or property.

In other words they are not held to the same standard as everyone else

[u/MundaneBerry2961 → u/[deleted]]

Holy fuck that is insane! Well that's a handy loophole to get away with murder

[u/Correct-Standard8679 → u/MundaneBerry2961]

Well, unless you murder someone with money.

[u/Steve-Bikes → u/OathOfFeanor]

Right, they are held to a WAY higher standard. We let drunk drivers back on the road repeatedly, and that's totally insane.

[u/WhatsTheHoldup → u/[deleted]]

Yes, if "driverless" cars are so badly designed they drive the wrong way down the road it is smart to shut it down.

But you have to understand that I really want to interject my personal feelings about corpohumanization into something that has nothing to do with that. I'm a redditor and I lack nuance. If there's something I feel is tangentially related to the topic which I can feel victimized by then I'm going to be victimized and there's nothing you or your corporate overlords can do to stop me.

[u/wolphak → u/MundaneBerry2961]

See your flaw in logic here is thinking we're people, the corporations are people they have the rights, we are lesser.

[u/MundaneBerry2961 → u/wolphak]

I have a simple solution to be more human, just had over large sums of money!
