Though such rules and precedent may be clear, they don't put any blame on road design or manufacturers of cars. Someone driving 150mph--it is the drivers fault even though the manufacturer knows that there is no road that this is possible.

Nitpick: in Germany there are roads with no speed limit (it might still be imposed in case of "stau").

The owners manual clearly says you are still responsible and it can’t detect stopped vehicles. The system does its best to ensure you’re watching the road with cameras to track your gaze.

Laws always tend to put the driver as the last stop in the chain responsible too.

This is very unfortunate. There’s a good chance that CRV was going to be hit if the Mach E avoided it.

But the person in the drivers seat is still the one responsible.

I would love to know the stories of both the Ford and Honda drivers. Doubt the public will ever know.
