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.
