What is the legality of using an alpha quality build of autonomous driving software on a public road? The other drivers on the road obviously haven’t given their consent.

If I could prove I was on the road when he was and he passed me while his alpha software was running could I get a lawyer and sue?

IANAL, but I don't see how you would have standing to sue if he simply passed you on the road. If he crashed into you, sure.

Exactly what I was thinking, maybe it's attuned to manufacturer vs owner legal statue.
