As you've pointed out, there would be so many reasons why the fault for an accident could be placed on the SDV (and the human driver/passenger in it) no matter who's actual fault it was (and likely even if the SDV did everything perfectly), that Insurance companies and the manufacturers would quickly rack up huge financial losses. Eventually, Transportation authorities would likely ban the operation of SDVs on public roads should they still be legally sold.<br /> I'm with you, lets deep six this concept before even more mega-bucks get wasted.<br /><br />SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
