Approvate regole per test di auto che si guidano da sè, in California

Adopted Regulations for Testing of Autonomous Vehicles by Manufacturers

DMV conducted two public workshops in 2013 related to developing regulations for testing of autonomous vehicles. The proposed regulations were then published in the Office of Administrative Law's California Regulatory Notice Register on November 29, 2013. The publishing marked the start of a 45-day public comment period, which ended on January 13, 2014. After a public hearing held on January 14, 2014, DMV delivered final testing regulations to the Office of Administrative Law for approval.

The autonomous vehicles testing regulations were adopted on May 19, 2014 and will become effective on September 16, 2014.

ecco, questa è una cosa che non invidio, o quantomeno non capisco.

gli incidenti accadono, per definizione di sistema complesso.

immagina un'auto-mobile che tira sotto un pedone.

il responsabile è chi, obbligatoriamente seduto sul sedile del passeggero e obbligatoriamente titolare della patente di guida per quell'auto, non interviene in tempo per evitare l'incidente.

non so, a me non pare avere molto senso...

6. Disclaimer of Warranty
Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is" basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a particular purpose or non-infringing.

Sarebbe bello sapere dove sta il limite tra:
- "mi dispiace ma la licenza che hai accettato non copre il tuo problema"
- "ok, facciamo un richiamo per aggiornare il software ma i cocci sono tuoi"
- "maledizione, devo fare il richiamo e pure pagare i danni"

7. Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any Contributor, or anyone who distributes Covered Software as permitted above, be liable to You for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses, even if such party shall have been informed of the possibility of such damages. This limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from such party's negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not apply to You.

Mancava un pezzo. Interessante, le cose cambiano quando qualcuno si fa male.
Ahhh, il mio vizio di non leggere le licenze
