The distinction still makes sense because it allows for graduation. If I drive too fast in a company car, I get the ticket and the company walks free, but if I crash because the company forced me to drive overnight for 10 hours straight, while I might still loose my license, the company is definitely on the hook for something.

How would that apply to self-driving cars, though?

well, the argument is, i think, in one situation the error resides on the individual, on the other the error resides in the organization. i don't think this would be really comparable to AI drivers unless each car differed significantly enough to establish them as actually separate. if i use the same equation 100 times, and its wrong every 1 time, it cant be called an accurate equation.
