Ja, but irrelevant.  Teams of hungry lawyers will not sue a car.  They will go after the company which built it.

Ja.  We already have a situation in which lawsuits focus on whoever has the most money.  In many cases, the prole which caused the damage has no money, so that person is clearly innocent.  Whoever hired her might have something worth suing away, so that person might have some fault.  On up it goes until the lawyers sense a potential payday.

 

We can solve the control problems.  We are nowhere near solving the legal problems.
