#Driverless #Traffic #Investigation

Im all for driverless cars and technology, but companies NEED to be held accountable IN all STATES. A heavier fine than a normal ticket should be added to the company whenever it breaks the law (and have that fine scale accordingly ofcourse)
Time to leave the democrat plantation forever ‼️
🤦♀️ Question: WHY is there a #DriversSeat??? 🤷♀️🤷♀️
😂 that is funny
But it’s an never ending problem with laws not being up to date, so they apply to all the current ways the world works today
🤦♀️ dumb idea
This story is more about fear mongering and bureaucracy then it is about facts and current state of safety.
I am sure no driverless car company would object to laws about moving violations. The purpose and intent are different though. For humans, it's to make them behave as expected, when they know better. For software companies, it's to ensure they fix their bugs.
If a driverless car breaks the law they should impound the vehicle and charge the company.
We need autonomous buses and trains.
Hey, you guys gonna do a special investigation on certain demographics who are immune from crime and punishment too? I'm waiting.
lol
"I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you."

This is very simple to fix. The problem is they've developed the system entirely wrong. Everything should have build built into a droid. That way the droid could drive any vehicle and not just be assigned to one. If it's current vehicle breaks down he can be moved to another vehicle. Also he could be ticketed and or arrested for traffic infringements.
Impound every one of cars violating laws. Politicians should have made laws regulating them before they were put on the road.
Who is the responsible for the people’s killed by these cars until now I guess no one money talks
If it can't be held accountable for the actions, then they need to be banned
These cars should be outlawed. This is absolutely insane.
Of course not in California.
They need to be banned
We a new way to raise revenue- Cali DMV
Katt Williams said this about driverless car:
Cop: where is drive license?
Katt: "Talk to the car."
We've already lost this battle, by allowing driverless cars on the road before any regulations have been written means these companies have already won. They can do whatever they want. They can run over your dog with zero consequences. The most you'll get from them is a sorry. We'll send out a software update. I'm sure that will help your grieving.
Ask the question….who will go to jail if the driverless car kills a pedestrian??? The CEO? The software/hardware program developer? or the Politician that gave them the approval to test on the streets?
What happens if the passenger grabs the wheel and causes an accident and flees from the car? Can the victim sue the driverless car company???
Honestly, this makes sense based on bad precedent. We do the same sort of things with guns. If you shoot someone or it misfires, the individual and not the company gets blamed. They probably use that same framing in a legal sense.
Before any new tech is put in use, the laws has to be up to date. Not the othere way around.
