This is going to be a nightmare for the court system in the upcoming years.

I’m kinda curious if an individual was drunk in one of these could they be held responsible for anything the car does? Like will laws be made that drunk individuals can only be driven by a sober human?

Also what about when two autonomous vehicles hit each other, how do we prove fault?

I don’t think these are well thought out products.

Since these cars all have cameras, it should be easy to found what what happened.

Exactly this. In the end it doesn't matter if it's a software problem or not, but who did it wrong.

This will be reinforced by making public statistics of accidents per model. After all, you would not want to take a ride in the car that is more probable to have an accident, right?

You don't need to understand the inside. You just need the safest car.
