Subject: [ExI] Tesla autopilot<br>
<br>
Once Tesla issues the complete self-driving autopilot package the human in<br>
the car will no longer be driving. The car might not even have a steering<br>
wheel or any vehicle controls.<br>
So if two Tesla cars crash at a junction, will they argue about which car<br>
was at fault?<br>
This could be the start of AIs becoming self-conscious.<br>

BillK, it's a critical question: does the car have a steering wheel or does<br>
it not?  In the USA, it is aaaaalll about liability.  If the car has a<br>
steering wheel and the autopilot screws up, the driver is liable.  If no<br>
steering wheel, the company is at fault.  <br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>At some point it won't be the company that is at fault, but the car itself.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
I have half a mind to wait until the no-steering-wheel car is available,<br>
drive my own damn self until then.<br>
