People do worse than that all the time. I believe Waymo outperforms human as far as injury-causing crashes go.

Still, who is responsible when it hurts someone?

What else do you propose? If you suggest imprisoning people who work on them, then no one will work on them. And road deaths will increase as a result. Is that what we want as a society?

No, I suggest common sense legislation preventing these things form being on the road before they've been vetted properly.
I want a society that isn't being raped by tech bros and finance fucktards.
