It is predicted that by 2020 we will have many driver-less cars on our roads. Computers will then be in charge of another major aspect of our personal control of ourselves and the things we do.

Interestingly, these reports contain no reference to insurance, liability, or personal responsibility by the owners of such vehicles. In the event of any sort of accident, who will be in the line of fire resulting?

Litigation seems to me to be the expected result of misdemeanours nowadays, a virus we have now it seems we have caught from America. Where will this be directed if an ‘accident' occurs involving a self-drive vehicle? Not possible to prosecute a piece of machinery it seems to me.

Please let us, people, get on with doing and accepting responsibility for our actions. Don't need computers to take over.
