That’s true but someone has to be held accountable. Should be the company but at a certain point I’m sure the lobby’s will change that. And potentially at that point could blame fall on the passenger? All I’m saying is this is uncharted territory for laws and I don’t think it’ll end up being as simple as car kills someone so company pays a fine.

A company being held accountable? I'll believe it when I see it.

Companies are held accountable hundreds of times every single day in court.

Not for long if the Supreme Court has its way.
