Finally we can live in the 90s again.

so brains, but smaller

They're not mini human brains though. They're little clusters of cells. The BBC's headline is deliberately (and irresponsibly) provocative and misleading.

This is what the Matrix should have been about.

Oh good! Technological horrors beyond my comprehension

He'll be back

ride on, ride on, friends of the black swan.

Thats happens when you name a bird, Mr. Terminator.

Surely these companies will just create a scapegoat-exec role specifically for taking the blame for these accidents if such a system were implemented.

If there is no driver to ticket for driving in a dangerous or otherwise illegal manner, then impound the vehicle and the owner can pay the fine when they retrieve it from the impound yard.

It's what would happen if a driver fled the scene of a normal traffic stop.

Of all the things that don't make sense here, that we have separate criminal and civil court systems is not one of them

Right. Also, flat rate ticketing is regressive, since it impacts poor people far more than rich people. So the ticket should be scaled to match the total combined income of all shareholders in the company.

But its the software driving the car thats at fault. Clearly need to ticket the AI company

BC has a points system that effects your insurance premiums if you collect so many in a year period. Tickets get sent via mail and charges to owner, if it was camera feed capture

You'd think police would know how to impound a car. I've seen tow-trucks do it to unoccupied cars frequently enough.

Here if you run a red light on camera ticket is issued to owner

California Police….

I mean… dude…

I may have missed that this was the us and shit makes no sense there.

Parking tickets are civil violations, speeding tickets are criminal. Two totally different systems. Police don't typically hand out parking tickets either

I may have missed the part about it being in the US. I always associate the guardian with ik stories.

They can’t prove who’s driving, so who gets the demerits? So in the US, those get thrown out all the time.

In Canada, no demerits, goes to the registered owner, they can fight their friends for lending it out.

So automatic speed cameras know who is driving the car to issue the fine to the correct person?

They don’t do that with speeding tickets, why would that apply here?

Moving violations are different than parking. It’s why it’s usually different agencies who do them, and parking don’t carry guns.

Tow it and only release it to an executive of the company who shows up to the yard and personally signs off on the fact that they allowed it to happen.

Start a paper trail of execs you can sue when one of these illegal u-turns hurts or kills someone.

Surely it can't be that complex. The ticket goes to the register owner if no driver is present.
Just like a parking ticket.
