Tesla braces for its first trial involving Autopilot fatality::Tesla Inc is set to defend itself for the first time at trial against allegations that failure of its Autopilot driver assistant feature led to death, in what will likely be a major test of Chief Executive Elon Musk’s assertions about the technology.
My country is going through a very disputed approval over legislation for medically assisted death, for incurable conditions.
It was sent to the Constitutional Court three times and twice vetoed by the president, one for political reasons.
The majority of the population supports it.
Good luck with that. Hope it can alleviate some people’s suffering.
We’ve basically got it all legal in Australia now, last state ratifies their laws in November.
Oh, it’s going forward, regardless the president personal dislike (devout catholic) and the cries from the church and religious groups.
Making it accessalbe on what might be a fleeting impulse would be a huge problem though in the case of futurama style suicide booths.
I remember reading an article about an open sourced 3D printable “suicide pod” anyone could build by themselves.
