  > The robot fled, if you can put it that way. That means it drove away after the collision.

  > The robot is at fault in any case.

  It's a bit unsettling that everyone involved is considering the robot to be an autonomous entity and the company that operates it isn't even mentioned once.

  It's a piece of equipment. Treat it as one.

    Yeah, what a weird "conclusion".

    If I was walking my dog, let it off the leash, and it ran into the middle of the road, causing a bus to brake and some people to be hurt, will I get into trouble for negligence?

    Looks like the company will get into some shit for the same issue.

    If i caused a crash in a tesla can i blame the autopilot? Why does this company get to?

  So the training that will probably be given to bus drivers is... Don't brake for clankers.
