    Washington Examiner (Moderate Right) • Credibility Grade 79% • 2 min read

    The bill, which was approved by a vote of 23-17 on Thursday in the Republican-led state Senate, makes it harder for local governments to strip funding from law enforcement by allowing certain elected officials to file appeals to budget reductions to the state’s Administration Commission, a panel made up by the governor and Cabinet officials.
    ...
    The bill also creates a minimum sentence for those convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers and increases the offense severity of other crimes “if committed in furtherance of a riot or an aggravated riot,” such as obstructing a highway.
    ...
    [Some] criticized the bill for allowing the state to participate in local governments' budgeting decisions. DeSantis stressed that his goal in signing the bill is to make local authorities more accountable and to prevent Florida’s municipalities from becoming similar to cities in other states that have reduced police budgets.

Context: Fatal car crash with Tesla autonomous vehicle.

BEST COMMENTS

Higher - We are familiar with the system of holding a driver responsible for their actions. It seems much more difficult to hold a corporation responsible for theirs since they have more resources and lawyers. If we can't sue/prosecute Tesla as successfully as we sue/prosecute John Doe for DUI manslaughter, then the automaker's cars better be near perfect.


Same - In this specific instance there was no human operator as there is supposed to be. Autonomous d...



Lower - It is my understanding that self-driving cars actually crash less than cars driven by people in terms of crashes pe...
