Do you trust autonomous (robo) vehicles? And who should be responsible for any related accidents?

We often cover software topics on ProductHunt, but sometimes we overlook the fact that tech can be felt most in the physical world (hardware).

As of mid-2024, there have been approximately 3,979 reported incidents involving autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the United States since reporting began in 2019. Source

And yesterday, I read an article that Amazon-owned autonomous vehicle company Zoox has suspended driverless testing and voluntarily removed its software after its robotaxi crashed in Las Vegas.

I still think that man causes the most accidents, but we are more sensitive to something relatively new/unknown (in this case, autonomous vehicles.

• Do you trust robotaxis more than humans, and would you use their services?

• Who should be responsible when an autonomous car crashes?
  (The software developers? The car manufacturer? The company operating the fleet? The AI? Or?)

My take: I am still hesitant. Personally, I would use autonomous vehicles only for goods transport in separate infrastructure and wouldn’t mix up too many human-driven vehicles with those autonomous.

Love to hear your Point of view.
