【正文】 lding’s end. The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater.

They would define the driver’s role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost. The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semiautonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses property(財產(chǎn)) damage over personal injury。 and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel — to check , say — the car’s maker is responsible if there is a crash.“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving,” says Dobrindt.
