If there is no human behind the wheel, who gets the ticket in the event of a traffic violation? The owner of the car...or the manufacturer?

Sometime in the future, it will be noted that the 30% of cars still driven by humans are involved in 99% of accidents. It won’t be long after that before human controlled driving on public roads isn’t an option.
Driving a car will become a rich persons hobby that’s conducted on closed courses.
Websites like this will be full of outraged opinion and the rare examples where an algo f’d up as proof that machines can’t do the job a human does. But they can. They already do. And there is no doubt they will drive safer than a human can.

At one time, there were only two motor cars in the state of Ohio.
And one day, they ran into each other.

An interesting article in National Review on the subject (and some others). It says that the big revolution will not come from the cars, but from the network in which they operate.
Quote:
Having an autonomous car that knows exactly where it is (Lutz says GM’s current standard is down to four inches) is a big step forward, but having an autonomous car that knows where it is, where every other car is in a thousand-mile radius, and where all of them are going — that’s a giant leap.

Agree with the article.
Imo, I see the network as having way more potential than the on-board computers and sensors that (within 3-5 years) will start showing up in individual cars.
Fyi, the accident in Vegas mentioned in post #10 of this thread?
Caused by the human driver of the semi that bumped into the autonomous shuttle.

The technology required for this purpose is pretty complex, and it remains to be seen if it's economically viable long-term and across all "silos" of drivers today. Like electric cars, just because it's possible, doesn't mean 100% replacement of gas/diesel vehicles, or in this case human drivers.
I hate to think what happens in the event of an EMP or bad solar flare with millions of self-driving vehicles in motion.....

but there will be a tax mandate that everyone has it (passenger/pedestrian injury insurance) or else tax penalty. Low income people will get theirs' subsidized.
