tesla, historical accident, legal stuff
Tesla has been fined 243 million dollar for an accident that killed one and heavily injured another back in 2019. The jury decided that Tesla is partly responsible because the Autopilot system ignored a stop sign.
... that sounds like precedent. Does this mean that the longstanding legal question of "who is liable for a self-driving car accident" has finally been settled in the US...?

@joepie91 hey, it would, if precedent would matter at all
re: tesla, historical accident, legal stuff
@navi In the US it usually does, as far as I know, much more strongly than elsewhere

@joepie91 the amount of shit being overturned by the fascists over there, in court too, says otherwise
