The case is believed to be the first time that U.S. prosecutors have brought felony charges against a motorist who was using a partially automated driving system.

So $11.500 per Person. Huh. I would have guessed it that american Lives would be more expensive.

You honor, I actually didn’t wack anyone with this self actuating axe. I bought it and I told it to go chop wood. The people just happened to be too close to the axe. Yeah I was holding the axe but I wasn’t actually putting any pressure. The tail was wagging the dog in other words.

Ok so $10,000.00. Fine? Oh alright I guess that’ll teach me not to buy autonomous axes.

uh is that it?

American taxpayers will pick up the rest of the bill. Nice subsidy for the rich.

If you want to kill someone in the US with little consequences, run them over with a car.

Germany the same. Small fine, three month without license, that’s it for killing a human being.

Why so low penalties? Were the victims black or brown?

Anyone else tired of beta testing Tesla’s garbage just by being outside on the roads near these vehicles?

Wow the value of a life I guess. I don’t really know what can come close to the value of a life, but this doesn’t seem like it.

2 murders, 23 grand. The mafia charge more.

If you wanna kill somebody, use a car.

The $11,500 “murder” add-on

For fuck’s sake I doubt if that would cover funeral expenses.
