That's A Damn Good Question

Who Ultimately Is Responsible When A Self Driving Car Crashes?

Until recently, there was no question about who’s responsible for an automobile’s operation: the driver. One-hundred percent.

When driverless cars without a steering wheel or brake pedal start hitting the highway, your only role will be ordering the car where to go.

“There’s something we used to call split responsibility,” said Hod Lipson, director of Columbia University’s Creative Machines Lab. “If you give the same responsibility to two people, they each will feel safe to drop the ball. Nobody has to be 100 percent, and that’s a dangerous thing.”
