text: If someone was texting and driving in their driverless car and they let their car take over and their driverless car failed to drive by itself and a accident occured who would be to blame? Would the driver or the creators of the car be at blame for the accident? Safety would be best achieved by alert drivers. There is going to have to be new laws will be needed to cover liability of an accident. They say "We have to interpret driving fun in a new way." What fun is driving if you can't do it manually? Driving is a previlage why let you're car take the previlage of you driving?
