In 2018, an Uber self-driving car struck and killed Elaine Herzberg as she crossed a road in Arizona. Its AI misclassified her and recognized the danger too late; the safety driver was distracted. The case asks who should be held accountable when AI causes harm: the driver, company, engineers, managers, regulators, or some combination. Its central point is that responsibility should be clearly assigned before harm occurs. It also raises questions about human oversight, product liability, opaque algorithms, and whether AI should make high-stakes decisions without human involvement.
