*Crashes on the road happening due to smartphone use*

@Max41 I'm looking forward to those, but they're not going to be mass marketed anytime soon I fear. And many won't buy them until the legal matter of who's responsible in case of crash gets clarified better than it is now.

In the current state of things, from what I've understood, is that if the software fails and you crash, chatting on SW would lead you to being prosecuted as if you caused the crash yourself because you weren't monitoring the drive.

@Elessar That is why you should chat more with real life people , try to open car window and talk to people , than trying to chat on android phone while driving the car , which will drive you directly to graveyard as well , where you may only find dead Sw users to chat to .

@Max41 A distraction is still a distraction. If I'm legally responsible of the self-driving car the same way I'm responsible of a manually driven one, I would buy a manually driven and spare me the (de facto unnecessary) higher cost of the former.
