Corporations pay huge sums for insurance against the possibility that a driver who works for them might kill or injure someone. And, the drivers themselves are likely to sue the corporation, saying they accident was due to poor training, poor working conditions, subpar equipment, etc. A robot driver might cause lawsuits by mowing downJames Maxeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927848864775293278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9377933.post-64348914825456772822021-10-29T05:43:44.273-04:002021-10-29T05:43:44.273-04:00all good points.

Yeah, we can probably teach a car to drive itself. But when the accidents happen, who is legally liable? The company behind the self driving car, the owner of the car even though he/she had nothing to do with the actual driving?

I wish I could say that Covid-19 has helped us push past pure partisan squabbling, but now it seems even more dreadful. With impeachment, I felt like no one was really interested in being well informed. With this crisis, people are obviously engaged, but somehow still seem to be viewing it only through a lens of James Maxeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814372009477878302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9377933.post-72150181793096542132020-04-16T17:42:14.972-04:002020-04-16T17:42:14.972-04:00Looking back on it...

I'm less certain if she's dying with him by choice at the end, or if he's just not bothered telling her about his bargain. It's also possible that Margaret is dying due to injuries she received from the rake, so William has no reason to try to escape his fate if she's fated to die.
