Problem 1
Law and Justice
The future scene states that the car would seamlessly take over control from the driver at times, with the car making all the driving decisions. There may be a malfunction in the car’s autonomous driving system, which may result in an accident between driverless cars. This may cause a problem which is who will take responsibility for these accidents.
Research:
- Laws have been implemented for Google’s driving cars in America, and they involve the manufacturers paying fines to the victims. However, this might not be the best punishment as in Singapore, negligent drivers are both fined and jailed.
- In Singapore, a Mercedes Benz driver crashed into a cyclist, killing him. In the end, he was jailed for 4 weeks.
