alt Hacker NewsYes, exactly like if another guy drove off to his pilates class, but swerved and hit a pedestrian.
He didn't mean to hit anyone! All he meant to do was to drive to pilates! But he didn't know how to handle his tool, and so either he get brought up on manslaughter changes or, if he can prove it, the carmaker is at fault.

you generally need a license to operate a vehicle, and a governing body ensures you know applicable rules and laws and are capable of driving. so you can’t say “i was unaware that hitting a person with a car was going to kill them” or “i didn’t know i could not drive on the sidewalk” or “i didn’t know where the brake pedal was”.
