At some point criminal liability just vanishes when enough money happens. If I sell a robot that does a crime I go to jail. If me and another guy build a robot that does crimes then we are both going to jail. At some point no one goes to jail because laws just sorta don’t apply to certain entities.
If a person does a crime on BEHALF of those entities, they are going to jail. But if the entity itself does a crime, well suddenly there aren’t criminal penalties anymore.
Which is why we shouldn’t let those entities do things like operate antonymous vehicles in the street.
Right. if you built a robot and it killed someone you would go to jail. Do you think anyone at Waymo is going to jail if their car kills someone?
I do not sir
That’s like saying CEO of GM should go to jail for every asshole who runs over someone with his Silverado because it has a 16ft front blind spot.
Waymo is liable in civil court. The NTHSA should investigate but they got DOGEd.
he should go to jail for that.
Thank you. That is the exact point I am making.
