Re: Liabilty? No difference!

"This is a pretty simplistic situation as the answer is the same as it is for human driver/operators today: vehicles should not travel so fast that they cannot stop safely."

But sometimes there's NO safe speed because you're FORCED into a no-win situation. Think, for example, something extreme occurs, like a car suddenly crossing over and "ghost driving" straight towards you. You really can't account for everything because, even if you do nothing in indecision, you could get hit from behind. This is Book of Questions territory here (a book full of such situations where there's no right answer), but we're expecting AI to come up with an answer where WE can't (by attaching legal/criminal liability).
