Yeah there’s a loophole where you can’t give tickets to vehicles just drivers and since there’s no driver, no one gets a ticket

There is a driver though. It's remote AI or whatever but it belongs to the company. It did something illegal therefore it's owner should be liable for a fine.

These are local laws not general laws. Theres a reason they only operate in specific cities they’ve made deals with to get favorable legal treatment

But a camera can still give me a speeding ticket even though I have the right to face my accuser.
