Cruise control is hardly relevant to a discussion of liability for autonomous vehicle operation.

In the context of ultramodern cruise control (eg comma.ai), which has a radar to track the distance to the car (if any) in front of you, and cameras so the car can wind left or right and track the freeway, I think it does.

  • Not unless they are marketing it as “autopilot” or some such that a random consumer would reasonably assume meant autopilot.

    And I’d include “AI driver” as an example.

    • A random consumer doesn't actually understand what Autopilot means. Most people don't have pilot's licenses. And cars don't fly. Did you not see all the debacles around it when it first came out?
