Then again there are always hookers and johns to go after, unless they legalize that too. I guess they can devote more resource to "preventing crime".

Vehicle owners? Or users? Or manufacturers?" The vehicle owner would likely be the default operator of the vehicle for liability purposes. <br />No-fault insurance would likely see a resurgence as the liability form of choice for owners of driverless vehicles in a driverless world. Problem solved. <br /><br />I am not sure that product liability laws would have to evolve that much. Manufacturers of autos already operate under a strict liability regime. How would you change that? Double strict liability? Double dog, strict liability? Trible, double dog strict liability? Liability doesn't get much more onerous than strict liability.Jardinero1https://www.blogger.com/profile/17607597144198493951noreply@blogger.com
