If a self driving car knocks me off my bike. Who is liable ? The coder? Or the "operator" of the self driving car ?

@quixoticgeek I think Elon Musk would say it’s you for not riding your bike properly!

@quixoticgeek I would say elon musk should be held personally responsible.

@quixoticgeek With the exception of Telsa I think, it's been the manufacturer. I think the German manufacturers have all said that they'll take liability for accidents due to autonomy above a certain level. All the Robotaxis have their manufacturers taking liability.

@quixoticgeek How self-driving? How ideal a world? If we posit a "able to operate without any human input", the company making the self-driving car _should_ (in my possibly arrogant opinion) be 100% liable for it.

@vatine @quixoticgeek we need to have that rule for the point where a driver can realistically be expected to pay less attention than if they're fully in control. I.e. right now.

@gabe @quixoticgeek If the car isn't capable of "fully independent driving" (to at least seven 9s), the CEO should be personally responsible, not shielded by the corporation.
