Now is a great opportunity for the UK to get a lead on autonomous car development and boost related employment, by announcing tax breaks and strictly limited liability in the event of prangs, by contrast with the ridiculously and hysterically vindictive and punitive US damages culture.

Cars kill large numbers of people every day. In the UK in 2016 there were 102 cyclists killed & 448 pedestrians out of a total of 1792 fatalities ( the numbers seriously injured is significantly higher ).
If anything else killed 5 people a day then there would be uproar.
The focus should not be on whether someone died because they were hit by a computer-controlled car, but whether automated cars are safer per mile than human-controlled cars.Comment
