Porsche not liable for Paul Walker's death, says judge

Haaaaaa, good one Tom...that gave me a good chuckle

Had the Walker case gone the other way it would set a dangerous precedent that would open up this kind of litigation on all cars.

And then watch your insurance premiums triple and ultimately cause no one to be able to afford insurance at all.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the self braking cars that should be in the main stream by 2022 and then self driving cars after that.

You could claim that the car did the braking or lack of it that caused accidents and that the Car Manufacturer's software/hardware is responsible since it was in control at the time of the collision.

In theory you won't even need collision insurance since the car manufacturer will be responsible for those events.

I wonder what THAT will do to the price of a car.
