The laws will be changed very fast ... as usual when big money and technology are waving!
And there will be countries forcing the carowners to switch to AV, just to show how great they are and how early adopter they are. Look at the Netherlands. They will prohibit (new) diesels from a certain point. I can see Norway and Sweden going a similar way with AV or at least with EV. In Sweden the first road for E-trucks is opened now. |

I don't in any way question that the tech will be fully developed in the next 5-10 years to make full autonomy a reality. I think these legal questions will take far longer to address. And if a self driving car malfunctions and mows down a group of kids waiting for the us, it could put the entire thing in jeopardy. Because people like control and inherently distrust anything that requires they relinquish their ability to make decisions. |
No matter how much safety the designers and engineers design into the car, there will be wrecks and failures. There has never been a failure proof product. We all know someone that could break an anvil or mess up a monkey wrench. A complex vehicle will have failures. Some will be a design flaw, some will be unforeseen errors and some will be the bigger idiot that comes along for every idiot proof product.
When the autonomous car comes up to a lot of water on the road will it just sit there for hours or proceed forward into a flood? What about ice and snow? The variables are infinite and the potential for problems unlimited. Every one of us had made a mistake while driving. Sometimes we got out of it OK, sometime Murphy wins. |

1. Owner of AI car required to purchase liability insurance (extension of existing laws) 2. Both owner and manufacturer are covered as insureds (logical, since both are "drivers") 3. If no valid insurance in force, car doesn't run (AI will check every time it is started, the car is internet connected) 4. Due to low accident rate of AI cars, actuarial cost of the insurance is very low Here's another way it could work. 1. AI car is leased, not sold 2. Lease payment includes insurance 3. Both owner and manufacturer are covered 4. If lease is not being paid, car doesn't run And another way. 1. Manufacturer is self insured 2. Expected liability cost is included in price of AI car, whether sold or leased (manufacturer can do the actuarial calculations as well as any insurer could) You can't compare the GA industry with the auto industry. The general aviation industry was (is) tiny, the companies are tiny, the financial strength is tiny, compared to the auto industry. |
That is another cause for the AI/AV will not be a success.
I dont want anyone besides my family to always know where I am. Internet connected car will not be accepted in many countries/cultures. |

Ice and snow - as mentioned already, the AI car can detect traction levels better than most drivers, by measuring tire slip vs vehicle motion. It can slow to safe speeds, refuse to proceed on slopes too great for the available traction, decline to advance if snow gets too deep, etc. I don't know if the engineers have gotten to that point, but obviously they have to be thinking about it. From the number of wrecked cars after every snow and ice event in Portland this winter, I'd say the average human appears to be pretty bad at this, the AI can be much better. |

Google knows what you read, like, buy, look for - probably where you are, too. But you use a cellphone and Google, don't you? |
Yes, but I can decide when to switch it off and not to use it.
When driving from A to B I cant. |
Lets see, remote controls, check, automated work, check, getting rid of standard transmissions in cars, check, sitting on the I-net for hours check, robot cars check, other people or machines thinking for ourselves, check. Us turning into worthless couch potato's and fat asses, check!:Dhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1487170219.jpg

People are going to "mess' with self driving cars beyond just hacking their computers systems. I can image quite a few scenarios where self driving cars get taken advantage of.
