one passed a stopped school bus that was unloading kids in Atlanta. That’s a violation that normally garners $1,000 fine and a court hearing, but nothing was issued to the company.

“These cars don’t have a driver, so we’re really going to have to rethink who’s responsible,” said Georgia state Representative Clint Crowe to Atlanta news station, KGW8.

No? The company has a mail address. Send them the notice and summons to court, just like you would for the owner of a regular vehicle.

Funny how most laws are incentivized to punish the poor, by setting static monetary fines that rich people and corporations would scoff at.

It’s just the system working exactly as intended. Poor masses remain subjugated by the rich, and history repeats itself.
