Comment on Robotaxis can break traffic laws without fines under new California rules
atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 days agoNot exactly. They were braking the law and not being held accountable. Now they’re being held accountable but how they are being held to account is problematic and toothless. That’s not the same thing and it’s exactly what my comment was trying to highlight. There are ways that the law can progress to be more effective.

Needing to report incidents isn’t being held accountable. They’re not facing any consequences for breaking the law.

Think about how laws and legislation evolve over time.
Some legislation has a habit of giving the perpetrators who violate it enough rope to hang themselves. That’s why I laid out what I said to include other steps they could take to amend or update the legislation.
A ban on self driving vehicles would be better, and we already know that Musk among others has been throwing money at keeping that from happening for ages.
Either way, if you can tell me why they’d bother to allow them to be ticketed rather than just not doing that like they already weren’t, I’d love to be enlightened.
