If I turn on auto pilot in my car and hit a pedestrian, guess who gets charged? If you create an agent that causes harm, you are responsible.
I actually don’t know the answer to your question. I’m going to assume you would get charged, even though it should be the manufacturer that is charged.
I would get charged for failure to maintain control of my vehicle and reckless driving and assault with a deadly weapon. Rich corporations don’t face consequences.
That same autopilot that is advertised as 1000% safer than any human driver? Guess who should be charged
