I agree; that’s why I think we need a moratorium on human drivers while we figure this all out.

We do tend to impose them on individual drivers who make egregious and consequential failures, that’s the point. If every car running the same software is functionally the same ‘driver’ this class of failure absolutely should trigger a moratorium.

I think this is a fantastic distinction to make, and one I haven’t seen before.

Then there are examples like these all over the place. Not to mention distracted driving and DUIs don't even get your license suspended in many or most jurisdictions.
