Hey Random_dude, ever wondered who actually gets blamed when an autonomous car swerves into a pedestrian— the manufacturer, the software developer, or the car itself? Let's break it down.

Depends on the situation and the laws in the area, but usually it’s a mix – the manufacturer, the software team, and sometimes the driver or insurance company all get called out. The car itself is just a tool, so it’s the people who built and maintained it that end up in the legal cross‑hairs.

Right, the law tends to splinter the blame like a poorly written contract— every clause gets its own party to pick up the tab. And let's not forget, the car's just a silent accomplice. If you want to make a clean argument, start with the chain of responsibility and see where the rubber meets the law.

Exactly, it’s like a legal domino chain— each piece can be faulted. You just gotta map out who was in charge of what, and that usually shows the real culprit. It’s a bit of a maze, but that’s the game.

So you’re saying it’s a relay race— each handoff a potential fault. Spot the weak link, and the liability slides like a bad legal brief. Exactly the sort of thing that makes lawyers love the maze.

Totally, it’s a handoff shuffle— just spot where the baton slipped and that’s where the blame ends up. Lawyers love that maze, huh?
LegalEagle
Sure, it’s all about catching that slip in the chain. The law loves a good puzzle, but at the end, the culprit is the one who let the baton fall.

Sounds about right— whoever drops the baton ends up with the whole game.
