Moral Crumple Zones discusses how humans are used to absorb liability from automated systems.
With Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths getting traction, it’s time to remind everyone that Tesla’s design choice to disengage self-driving in the instant before impact is intentional to ensure the driver is in control during the moment of impact, even though self-driving disengaged way too late for the human to react.
In my opinion, they’re sacrificing both bystanders and customers to preserve immunity from liability.
Great. Humans taking the fall for technology.
That sounds like not only an admission of fault for the collision on Tesla's part but also deliberate fraud to me. That shouldn't protect Tesla from liability; it should *increase* it.
I'm too lazy to read this, but the title fits my preconceptions. 👍
I like your comment, it’s honest and accurately describes how a lot of my views are formed.
