If it's a "self driving car" that the person "owns" - Yes. If it's a "Taxi service" that the person is using - No.

If it's a car they own, they (should) have the ability to override the AI system and avoid the accident (ignoring nuances) - therefore owning responsibility.

If it's a Taxi they would be in a position where they can't interfere with the operation of the system - therefore the taxi company owns the responsibility.

Rightly or wrongly, this model of intervention capability is what that I'd use to answer these types of questions.



Oh? And how exactly do you suggest one override the electronics system of a drive-by-wire vehicle with integrated AI control, specifically?
