Question

Think of a situation in the not-too-distant future in which an autonomous robot, for example a factory manufacturing robot or a self-driving car, through some unfortunate coincidental combination of circumstances accidentally causes a human serious injury or even death. In a case such as this, who should be held responsible for the crime and damages? Can the developer or team of developers who wrote the code justifiably be held responsible? Is it simply considered a mechanical malfunction and nobody is held responsible, but the machine is destroyed?

Answer 1

Both

Step-by-step explanation:

I would say both, but in different circumstances. if the injured person can prove it was a fault made by the developers then the developers should be held responsible. if not, then it should be considered a mechanical malfunction and the machine should be destroyed
