&quot;The SUV driver is responsible for his&#x2F;her actions.&quot;<p>Hey, that is what ford said about the Bronco II.<p>Anyway, I agree with you in principle that if presented with the clear evidence in court it would be as you say. My contention is it would take many years and a whistle-blower before anything like that would ever come to light. And there is much greater likelihood of deaths occurring accidentally due to the code, than by design.<p>Depth of herd is an issue, to be sure, and this even assumes the car could tell the difference between zombies and humans.. perhaps we need a waze for herd avoidance.
