Re:GM Cruise to delay commercial launch of self-driving cars... by Meekro on Wednesday July 24, 2019 @12:57PM (#20517139)
One nice feature of these cars is that they have always-on 360-degree video, which should make it trivial to determine fault in the case of accidents. Even if the self-driving car itself wasn't hit, the video could be provided to shed light on what happened around it.

So if you're reckless, swerve around it because you're frustrated, etc. be prepared to be held at-fault and watch your insurance rates skyrocket.

Yes, the data collected in every accident can be used to improve the self driving car too, but probably not increase their predictability. it’s a gray moral zone to suggest that emotional, frustrated people are totally at fault for the statistically increased recklessness around self-driving cars being tested during rush hour. It’s bad enough with the Uber and Lyft drivers who clearly drive like they have no idea where they are or where they are going; but at least do so predictably.
