Some proposed changes[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

1. Article mixes a general description of the issues with what appears to be a solely US-centric view of the legal issues. Suggest that these are explicitly separated into different sections. 2. Terminiology - There is mention of the liability of the "programmer". I assume that this actually refers to the designer of the system, as opposed to a person who implemented someone else's design (which is what I regard as the normal meaning of the term). Suggest that precise definitions are added to clarify. Barney8000 (talk) 08:53, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

^ To specify which country these policy considerations were relevant for, "US" was placed in the subheading's title.

^ "Programmer" is the nomenclature used by University of Brighton researcher John Kingston, the person whose legal theories are discussed and cited from in this passage. The qualification "software designer" was added to the first instance of programmer in order to clarify for the reader what this meant.

Non deprecated source needed: users-in-charge[edit]

To lead the way of the regulation, the UK proposed to name users-in-charge the driver of a self-driving car. In such a case, the driver would not be criminally liable for some specific offenses, while the user in charge will still need to be qualified and fit to drive^[1]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.67.202.121 (talk) 18:33, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To be frank, one other source do exist, so you could include your text with this better source:

The user-in-charge and no user in charge (NUIC) also appears in fleetnews ("the blame game") in https://cdn.fleetnews.co.uk/web/1/digital-issue-categories/march-2021/FN_Mar_2021_mag/index.html#page=17 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.136.215.10 (talk) 20:23, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Current liability frameworks[edit]

"Current liability frameworks — Existing tort liability for drivers and insurers and product liability for manufacturer"

This looks like it means "now" while this "now" word should not used on wikipedia!

If liability frameworks can change with regulation changes, is this still current and existing?

Also, is this section specific to the US or a specific geographical area?

Or is this section a description for a need of regulation? 77.193.104.36 (talk) 10:45, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
