Starpluck posted:What would the laws be for Level 5 Full-Self Driving and being under the influence of alcohol/drugs? Level 5 FSD is a pipe dream and may not exist ever let alone in the near future. Your question might as well be what are the rules for flying my personal spaceship while drunk. The right law, imo, if level 5 ever actually exists, would shift liability for incidents in full auto to the manufacturer. However, the government is completely captured by regulators. So the driver will still be liable for everything, and dui laws will probably still be enforced to an extent.

I don’t know how you’re enforcing DUI laws since a self-driving car would be functionally no different than taking a taxi. Drunk passengers aren’t charged. Feasible self-driving cars would replace taxis and ride services would probably mean fewer people have their own car anyway. But what’s the basis to charge someone for being their own passenger rather than a third-party’s? And yeah, I don’t see manufacturers being strictly liable. That takes away incentive to develop and make the cars. Self-driving cars will likely maintain a driver/owner override and negligence common law may place the burden of the last best chance to avoid an accident on the human driver.

If such override is actually needed, then we're not level 5 fsd.

What level self driving is the one that Elon is touting will come in mid-2020? https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-car-drive-itself-across-the-country-2019-3 quote:"I think we will be feature-complete full self-driving this year, meaning the car will be able to find you in a parking lot, pick you up, take you all the way to your destination without an intervention — this year," Musk said in an interview with ARK Invest. "I would say that I am certain of that. That is not a question mark." And https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/23/20929529/tesla-full-self-driving-release-2019-beta quote:Musk previously estimated that by the middle of 2020, Tesla’s autonomous system will have improved to the point where drivers will not have to pay attention to the road. The company also plans to roll out autonomous taxis in some parts of the US. The service will allow Tesla owners to add their cars to a Tesla network, which he said would be akin to Uber or Airbnb. What happens at the end of 2020? Starpluck fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Mar 29, 2020 |

Not needed, but included by the manufacturer as an out for them on liability though? If you mean level 5 means there can be no override, then the driver/owner has absolutely no involvement and all cars are just a service. Back to the taxi analogy.

Your question might as well be what are the rules for flying my personal spaceship while drunk. yeah as a practical matter the only sensible place to put liability is on the manufacturer. the only question will be if it's a strict liability standard akin to no-fault insurance or if the car needs to be in some sense "at fault". such cars are nowhere near existence whatever musk says, and he says it because his company's finances depend on idiots believing it's right around the corner, and if they ever do exist they won't be teslas (which lack lidar, a key hardware capability).

At present most DUI statutes are phrased something to the effect of "Operating a Motor Vehicle while intoxicated" and I'd be confident that 1) they'd still prosecute and win under that definition, even if the car was fully self driving and, more to your question 2) there is no real incentive for legislatures to bend over backwards to write in an exception for self-driving cars any time soon. Even these cars will have driver override, and who here can't imagine some rear end in a top hat gets in and passes out, unbuckled, slumps over the steering wheel yanking the car into oncoming traffic or drops his foot on the gas pedal, etc.

Perhaps in a true-"FSD" mode, the intoxicated driver would sit in the front passenger seat, preventing him for slopping over the controls. And in that case, he's a passenger and not the driver of the vehicle.

The defense would be that you weren't impaired by the alcohol because the ai was doing it all anyway. Realistically though such a case would rarely come to trial because DUI stops happen when either the driver is doing something an AI wouldn't do, like driving erratically or speeding, or there's a major wreck, which an ai makes less likely anyway. And if there's a wreck while an AI is driving the case is instantly too complicated for the prosecutor to deal with. Hieronymous Alloy fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Mar 30, 2020 |

You are still impaired, even if the ai is not. The ai is not subject for criminal prosecution, you are. 2. You are still the responsible operator of a vehicle. You are not merely a passenger, you are in control of the actions of the vehicle if only by ordering it around. Closest analogy would be instructing a learning driver, which you also cannot be drunk for. This is still ignoring the general negligence of being in a state where you may not be able to respond to an emergency appropriately. 3. In some jurisdictions, such as mine, attempt drink driving carries the exact same penalties and the bar for attempt is "turning the key". Even if you're not driving, it's still possible to get convicted for impossible attempt, and intent doesn't matter for this over here. 4. Legislatively, it is generally undesireable even with full autonomous driving having a bunch of drunk people be the only humans in charge of a machine capable of serious harm. So that would be very likely to be criminalized regardless of the above.

Right. In my jurisdiction there are two different charges: DUI and DUAC (unlawful alcohol concentration). DUI requires impairment. The argument would be that ai assisted driving requires so little awareness that the alcohol in your system wasn't impairing you in that task. Itd be a jury question and one you'd have a decent s bu ot with depending. You'd still get convicted of duac if you blew but you have to consent to blow for that. I agree on your last point but that's not the law yet. I also agree there would be civil liability.

So the impairment is actually tested against the activity and it's only impairment if the alcohol would render the operation dangerous or something like that? Wow, that is weird to me. We follow the "medical principle" where it really doesn't matter how the alcohol affects you, if you test over 0,02% BApercentage and you're (attempting) driving or controlling a motor vehicle that's it. There are no further tests.

Nice piece of fish posted:Ah. So the impairment is actually tested against the activity and it's only impairment if the alcohol would render the operation dangerous or something like that? Wow, that is weird to me. Well, the test is whether you were under the influence / impaired. No danger requirement. Idea being, someone might have had one drink but have a tolerance and not actually be impaired in their driving. This turns into a battle of proof over the roadside "field sobriety" tests usually, if it goes there. That's kinda valid because the field sobriety tests are kinda bullshit -- I've had clients pass the tests and still get charged, I've had several dead sober clients fail the tests because they were elderly / had balance issues / didn't understand the directions etc. Sometimes it can be an issue of being impaired by something other than a drink/drug, like lack of sleep; technically, not DUI! Blood alcohol level is the separate DUAC charge -- which carries all the exact same penalties but is technically distinct because it rests on a blood alcohol level not an impairment test -- but that needs (generally) consent to the blood alcohol testing, whether by breath machine or blood draw. If there's a serious accident they'll get a warrant for a blood draw. Then you're over the limit, BAM, convicted. Otherwise though you have a right to refuse the breath test. They'll automatically suspend your license if you refuse and require you to do a alcohol class, but it's a non-criminal penalty because the right to drive is technically civil and administrative, through the department of motor vehicles.

Interesting. Ours is BAC only. No test, no charge. If you refuse the breath test the police usually take your license right then and there, arrest you and bring you to the hospital for a blood draw. There is no refusing and no need for a warrant. We do have a discretionary "you don't appear fit to be in traffic" statute, but it usually also requires drug/alcohol testing and we don't usually do any performative tests. It's just the policeman's observations. Fun fact: since the BAC test statute applies only to motor vehicles, you can drunk drive a horse so long as it's generally safe and you're not hosed up enough to get slapped with the discretionary statute. This would not be the case with an ai, since that would be in a motor vehicle. So basically, a horse is that level 5 ai thing you wanna drive home drunk. Completely Texas.

Holy poo poo so that's why America does those weird roadside tests. We also just have a strict test where if you're over the limit you're done. Trying to prove actual impairment sounds like a huge waste of resources. Side note I once transcribed a case where a guy had been asked to get out of the car because the police thought he was drunk (tbf he had a half-full bottle of something with him, I forget what) and as he got out, before they could test him, he drank down the rest of the bottle to obscure the results. So they got him on perversion of justice.

Trying to prove actual impairment sounds like a huge waste of resources. Hahaha fantastic. We have a special rule where if you imbibe alcohol within 6 hours of driving when you understand or should understand that there will be a police investigation because of the driving (such as an accident, incident, you're stopped in a random control), they can convict you under the same rules as normal DUI based on your BAC. It's a weird rule that not many other jurisdictions have and swedes for example have gotten away with this because they didn't know about the law and they don't have anything like it in sweden, so they can actually plead non-negligent ignorance of the law.

The elected county judge sentenced him to 6 months of no drinking without any actual monitoring because his neighbors would be able to effectively monitor him.

Part of the point of the generalized “DWI” charges is that there’s other substances that impair driving ability, legal or not, that you also need to ban. Nobody’s going to have specific tests for levels of “don’t operate heavy machinery” prescription drugs for example.

Prescription opiates or benzos are legal but you shouldn't drive on them. There's also drugs that can interact with each other to create an impaired effect that don't on their own. Not having a generic "driving while intoxicated/impaired" statute leaves a big old loophole that you don't really want to exist every time someone finds a new way to get hosed up on purpose or accidentally.

It's really easy to detect whether someone's taken a specific drug, it takes blood testing and a fair bit of pharmacology to determine when they took it or whether it's at a level where it impairs. I'm getting the impression Norway assumes impairment if any detectable level is in your blood or spit, which is really problematic considering many legal drugs are detectable well below their therapeutic levels. My ADHD med is an amphetamine, does that mean I'd get popped for possession and impaired driving if I got pulled over in Norway?
