Ticket the damn manufacturer. They need to be made to understand not to put substandard devices into public hands

Sho nuff
How did you make these legal and not put in place a process for this? Absolutely corrupt incompetence.
The entire reason they’re deploying AI in the battlefields is to avoid accountability for those firing. The lack of accountability is an intended feature, not a bug.
A troubling conclusion I hadn’t yet come to. God damn.
They’re not being subtle about it. The weapons companies are offering it as a selling point at the conventions.
Great RoboCop with better weapons.
Considering it’s California the uturn was illegal only because the cop said so.
Boot it
I think you can stop robotaxis by just putting a traffic cone on its hood.
Yeah but that’s easy to take off. The least you could do is epoxy it to the hood of the clanker.
Wouldn’t spray painting the sensors be easier and more effective?
Not necessarily. You’d be surprised how many sensors and cameras have coatings on them which prevents spray paints from sticking (before it dries it just slides off)
Oh in that case we should just boot it and call it a day.
Surprised Pikachu!
Prepare to run people over!
Okay so they can’t give it a citation. However aren’t there seperate laws that could be employed? If a car is not roadworthy they are not allowed to let it continue the journey. Like without light at night, or with a missing wheel.
When a driverless car autonomously breaks rules of the road, doesn’t that make it a malfunctioning piece of equipment. One that is dangerous to let continue?
May a firefighter tear the cars in half using the jaws of life.
Issue a ticket to the owner of the car. Let them contest in court that they were not driving it.
What is this “Airbud” rules.
Cant give it a ticket cause my ticket book doesn’t say anything about “robots” breaking laws.
Aircraft must have pilots in command.
Radio stations must have control operators.
Pedestrian manglers can just roam free!
Even a train, the thing that runs on rails has operators
I could see a subway train or other “No other traffic runs on or crosses these rails” being automated, but with normal pulling freight down the rails trains, somebody needs to be on board the damn thing.
I wonder, if they hinder the car enough, wouldn’t that cause the remote operator to connect to it? Sounds like you’ve now identified a driver :-)
I would suspect they were already watching it. They pulled it over and it pulled over.
I can see rego plates in the picture, are they not linked to anyone? Ticket the owner, it’s not rocket science.
Law says the driver is ticketed for driving infractions.
So if your car gets ticketed by a speed camera without the driver being identified, who do they send the ticket to?
They send it to the registered owner and treat it as a parking violation, which does not go on your driving record. The ticket also has a “it wasn’t me” box you can tick to get the fine removed when you mail it in.
And boot it to prevent repeat offense.
It’d likely require a different statute. Like how running a red light is a different penalty if the driver is pulled over by a cop versus the vehicle owner being caught by a stoplight camera.
They’re remote cars. I would ticket the operator, even if its just a corporation. Let the courts figure out if it applies
This is the right answer for issues with driverless cars. Ticket the registrant/owner. The State shouldn’t have to fight with a manufacturer to ensure legality in a vehicle’s programming, that’s a losing battle that will cost ridiculous amounts of taxpayer money. Fine vehicle operators so they’ll stop buying vehicles that incur costly fines. Losing customers is the only thing a corporation will listen to.
Well also those cars are likely insured as the state law requires and if they keep getting citations, even if those fines are easy for the company to pay off, their insurance should hopefully skyrocket causing more lasting and impactful damage
It’s easy just tow it!!! Let god sort it out because the tech is not there yet
