Re: Thought experiment
No. That's exactly my point. With a human driver, it would be classed as a tragic accident. Maybe the driver of the vehicle spilling the logs would be held liable, but the car behind wouldn't - whatever he/she did (and most would be likely to swerve if they knew they wouldn't stop in time)
My point is, if an algorithmic decision is made, someone will sue the people who are responsible for the cars software.
