“We’re being especially cautious at this early stage so we are advising drivers to keep their hands on the wheel just in case,”

What a brave, disruptive move!

“Who is responsible for what? I’m not convinced until now that is a process which can be done in the next 10-15 years.”

Then get out of the game, Hyundai:

Volvo chief executive officer and president Håkan Samuelsson says one of the most vexing challenges facing the auto industry can be solved with a simple statement: Manufacturers should be held responsible if their autonomous technology causes car accidents. Two days after the Swedish automaker pledged to be "fully liable" for accidents caused by its self-driving technology, Samuelsson pushed the entire industry to follow Volvo's lead.

I wonder if the car will 'take over driving' when it realizes that the driver is drunk and pull to the side of the road, lock the seat belt and doors and then call the police? I'm all in for that type of 'automation'. Same goes for the driver texting or using their phone in hand while driving.

Their should be a law that any accidents caused by the car are the responsibility of the "driver", even though he just entered a destination and pushed the start button. Otherwise, there will be a lot of drawn out lawsuits involving the car's manufacturers, software engineers, etc.
