I wonder how costly it would be if one of these self-driving cars killed a bystander while repo-ing itself.


They'll bill it to the person they repossessed it from. Someone will introduce a bill to make them liable for murder, on the grounds that they were engaged in defrauding the car company and are therefore a felon.


Probably similar in cost to the people killed by human tow truck drivers.


That sounds more costly for the tow truck driver than for Ford.
