text: Another issue that could come up with driverless cars is, the liability. Who's fault is it? Today there are laws that decide who is at fault in a car accident. If the cars were totally driverless then there would be no need to focus on the road and the driver could be doing whatever they wanted. What would happen if there was a constuction zone ahead and the driverless car didn't know and kept driving and hit someone or something, would the accident be the drivers fault or the manufacturers? " If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the naufacturer?" I'm sure there are many manufacturers who would not like all of the liability to fall back on them. That could end up costing them more money than what they are getting from the driverless cars. If it is the drivers fault then they could just say that they were told they didn't need to pay attention and they could sue the manufacturer.
