The report doesn't say whose fault it was.

But it does list a hell of a lot of other similar failures
and a well designed self driving car should drive the
car so it doesn't cause human drivers to run into the
back of the car its driving because of how it drives.

And of course human drivers never **** up like this....

Irrelevant to how self driving cars should be done.

Unless the brake lights failed on the leading car, the following car is
responsible for NOT running into the leading car.

Perhaps a small, minute man missile could be released to vaporize the
following vehicle when the computer determines the collision is inevitable..

Are you the Speeder from Dr. Debug days?

You're as stupid as the insurance companies. Let's say you're travelling in the slow lane of a 2 lane motorway at 70mph. There's traffic in the fast lane, you cannot move over. I come alongside you on the onramp at about 75mph, then dart in front of you, leaving a gap of about 6 inches. I immediately jam on my brakes as I realise the lorry in front is slowing down. You hit the back of me. Would you really blame yourself and not me?
