    “I didn’t cause those injuries, it was the driverless cars” might actually work here…

    maybe. eh. the car company probably has better lawyers.

      Yeah but the focus will be on the driverless car, I’m not saying they are blameless, just that the general heat and attention will probably not be on them now

        Im not sure that is a problem.

        Autonomous vehicles are still mostly half baked, and the question of liability of who gets the blame hasn’t even preheated the oven.

        The reality is company’s like waymo are using their cars in SF precisely to harvest training data because they can’t finish it without real world data- the physical driving a car is easy; interacting with humans is not.
