It is not like it is a surprise to anyone that these companies ignore rules.
(I know they are legal in Arizona...I was referring to Australia)
Yes , that's a real important point .. Imagine if one day fully autonomous vehicles were owned privately or even leased . The owner or leaser goes to a club or pub and gets sozzled and gets in his car to bring him home . On the way the car collides with another car or pedestrian . Is the person liable even if he or she was not driving ?. Governments , manufacturers will need to have stuff like that clarified before these cars seriously hit the roads I reckon .
