A driver might get a ticket. The navigation data will be updated. The next version might be better at interpreting signs (or a better balance between the navigation data and visual perception). The end.
Depending on what the car does, the driver might lose a point on their drivers license.
Once you’ve lost three points within three years, you lose your drivers license and will have to retake it. Depending on circumstances you might have a ban for some amount of time(finite or indefinite).
I don’t understand it, either, except to guess that the companies behind self-driven taxis have enough money to buy off the politicians who normally insist that everyone else follow the laws.
In the US, drivers kill pedestrians all the time and are barely punished.
Is this the same standard that should be adopted everywhere?
