1/20 "Lexus will offer a feature that lets the LS [460] parallel-park
itself without the driver touching the steering wheel. Sales start
in the fall." Nifty. How will liability work with something like
that?
\_ Same way it does if you crash while on cruise control. -tom
\_ Since you're not a lawyer I'd suggest you keep your trap shut.
Product defect liability is a complex subject.
\_ Since I don't see a name or a TRO attached to your post, I'm
guessing you're just a tom-hating punk.
\_ My first post in this thread: Welcome to the motd where
you don't have to be a professional to comment on legal,
medical, or financial matters and where it is equally
acceptable to point out when someone else is full of shit
because they lack the professional knowledge required to
intelligently comment on a complex issue.
\_ You still steer in cruise control.
\_ And you're still responsible for not running into the
back of the car in front of you. -tom
\_ Uhm, no tom. If there was an actual defect to the
cruise control not being able to disengage, then
the liability becomes a whole lot more complex.
\_ You would have a point, if the original poster
were concerned about not being able to disengage the
automatic parallel-parking system. Presumably that
will not be difficult. Therefore, presumably you
will still be responsible for disengaging it (stepping
on the brake) if necessary. -tom
\_ Eight-speed auto? Might as well use a CVT.
\_ With the zero-turning-radius Jeep Hurricane, you don't need a
computer to parallel-park.
\_ Can it park into very tight space? If so, is there a reverse mode
to help dumb drivers pull the car out of the space afterwards? |
