Car Accident On Barker And Trent Sends Two People To Hospital – KULR-8 Television, Billings, MT
April 26, 2014 By Christopher Koulouris 4 Comments How happy is Courtney Ann Sanford now? Define bitter irony? Courtney Ann Sanford, a 32 year old North Carolina driver died Thursday morning in a fatal car crash. Moments prior to her veering off the median and crashing into an oncoming truck the woman had posted on Facebook how happy, Pharrell Williams Happy song made her. At the time investigators were unable to explain why the woman suddenly veered onto the oncoming truck but now believe after friends and family approached them about a posting Sanford made on Facebook at the same time of the crash that her lack of concentration on the road of her led to the accident. The Facebook text happened at 8:33. We got the call on the wreck at 8:34, told Lt. Chris Weisner, with the High Point Police Department. Investigators say Sanfords Facebook post read: The happy song makes me HAPPY. In a matter of seconds, a life was over just so she could notify some friends that she was happy, added Weisner. Courtney Ann Sanford via facebook But it gets worse.

Who Is at Fault When a Driverless Car Gets in an Accident? – John Villasenor – The Atlantic
Todays products liability law is the result of decades or more , if you take the longer viewof precedent that has established the responsibilities that accompany making and selling products. Plaintiffs in products-liability lawsuits can choose from among various (not mutually exclusive) theories of liability when seeking to recover damages. Negligence occurs when manufacturers fail to design their products to be safe when used in reasonably foreseeable ways. Consider an autonomous steering technology that works well during the day but that tends to cause fender-benders when used at night. A person whose car is damaged as a result could assert that night driving is a reasonably foreseeable use of a vehicle, and that the manufacturers failure to ensure the technology worked effectively at night constitutes negligence. Design defects are another commonly asserted theory of liability. Suppose that the software for controlling braking in an autonomous vehicle doesnt sufficiently increase braking power when the vehicle needs to stop on a downhill slope. If, as a result, a vehicle causes a frontal collision (i.e., impacts a car in front of it), a person who suffers injuries or economic losses due to the collision could file a design-defects claim against the manufacturer. Even when a design is sound, manufacturers can be liable for manufacturing defects. If an autonomous vehicle technology provider accidentally ships some vehicles with an early, non-market-ready version of software containing a flaw not present in the newer version that was supposed to have been shipped, a person injured in an accident attributable to this flaw could seek to recover damages from the technology provider. Because the process of marketing and selling a product creates explicit and implicit warranties, products liability also involves contract law. Consider a provider of automated parallel parking solutions that claims in advertisements that the system can parallel park in tight spaces equally well whether its day or night. If, instead, the system only works during the day, and only in spaces that arent particularly tight, a purchaser of such a system could file a products liability claim citing breach of warranty (and would likely also allege that there was a design defect).
