What is the trial about?
By examining a case where a self-driving vehicle was involved in a serious accident, the trial explores questions about technological accountability. How do we balance innovation with safety? What standards should autonomous systems meet? When systems fail, how do we fairly assign responsibility? You’ll consider multiple perspectives: the developers who created the algorithms, the manufacturers who implemented them, the owners who purchased the vehicle, and those affected by its actions — ultimately deciding who’s to blame.
