Thank you. That is the exact point I am making.
At some point criminal liability just vanishes when enough money happens. If I sell a robot that does a crime I go to jail. If me and another guy build a robot that does crimes then we are both going to jail. At some point no one goes to jail because laws just sorta don't apply to certain entities.
If a person does a crime on BEHALF of those entities, they are going to jail. But if the entity itself does a crime, well suddenly there aren't criminal penalties anymore.
Which is why we shouldn't let those entities do things like operate antonymous vehicles in the street.
