    Most states apply liability to whoever is in the driver seat anyway. If you are operating the vehicle, even if you’re not controlling it at that moment, you are expected to maintain safe operation.

    That’s why the Uber self driving car that killed someone was considered the test driver’s fault and left Uber mostly off the hook.

    Not sure how it works for the robo taxis, though.

      Yeah that’s gonna be tricky with those. I live in Vegas where they’re already operating. No steering wheel at all.
