RE:RE:Cote article Are you awake? Do you have any idea of the potential legal exposure such a vehicle manufacturer would have if they didn't provide for human intervention?
We take you now to a Courtroom near you:
Plaintiff's Attorney is questioning CEO of
"Autonomous Mining Motors" Plaintiff's Attorney:
"Why did your firm never provide for human intervention of your vehicles' operation in case of some unexpected set of circumstances such as this one in which a dozen miners were killed? " CEO :
"Our engineers told us it wasn't necessary, they'd thought of every possible situation and had programmed our vehicles accordingly." Plaintiff's Attorney:
"If a human had been able to intervene, based on the experience necessary of a human operator of a vehicle such as the autonomous one that killed a dozen miners, could this tragedy have been avoided? And I remind you, Sir, you are under oath." CEO:
"Yes, a human driver would not have made such a mistake." Plaintiff's Attorney:
"No further questions, Your Honour." ( jury of 12 brain-dead amoebas retires to consider ... returns in
2 minutes. )
Presiding Judge:
"Has the jury reached a verdict?" 12 brain-dead amoebas jury Foreman:
"We have, Your Honour." Presiding Judge:
"And your verdict?" 12 brain-dead amoebas jury Foreman:
"We find the Defendant "Guilty" on all counts and implore Your Honour to throw the book at Defendant." CEO to Administrative Admin:
"Get our Bankruptcy Barristers on the horn." Let us hope something such as this doesn't happen to
Argonaut. I doubt it will but...
