But a computer is usually programmed by a human and that's where the errors are introduced. The computer just follows instructions.

When these cars start flooding the street, I'm going to pass the time by jumping in front of them, safe in the knowledge that they will avoid me or I'll get a financial settlement for software flaws.
You won't get a financial settlement from your "suicide watch" hospital bed

Think of the fun you can have from doing that crash for cash move, you spot someone reading the paper, texting or putting on the lippy, swing in front of them and do some very heavy braking and watch them sitting on their dashboard wondering what happened with lipstick from chin to forehead. If there "safety breaking" doesn't work and you get hit, it can't be your fault, it was their faulty car that caused the accident.

And no more claims for whiplash, who are they going to sue ? their own car?.

I take it the person who said "Uber changed their life" was one of the drivers impacted by the 'massive security breach' recently
