> This is like saying that self-driving cars won't ever become a thing because someone behind the wheel needs to be to blame.

Which is literally the case so far. No manufacturer has shown any willingness to take on the liability of self driving at any scale to date. Waymo has what? 700 cars on the road with the finances and lawyers of Google backing it.

Let me know when the bean counters sign off on fleets in the millions of vehicles.
