Leading to the hypothetical question...

When the drunk Waymo operator in the Philippines runs over a 6 year old girl on Market St SF, who gets indicted for vehicular manslaughter?

@mastodonmigration @ai6yr

And why has the NHTSA certified Waymo vehicles as 'Safe'?
Normally, if it is determined a faulty part has caused multiple, but unrelated accidents, then an national recall is triggered.
If a plane crashes, a major FAA investigation begins.
Why are we allowing self-driving vehicles a free pass?

“When the Waymo vehicle encounters a particular situation on the road, the autonomous driver can reach out to a human fleet response agent for additional information to contextualize its environment,” the post reads. “The Waymo Driver [software] does not rely solely on the inputs it receives from the fleet response agent and it is in control of the vehicle at all times.”
