Culpability by Bruce Holsinger

 The story starts with a family traveling to the teenage son's lacrosse game. They're riding in a self-driving car. Both of the parents are doing work for their respective jobs while in the car, so not really paying attention. When one of their daughters screams, the son who is driving jerks the wheel of the car, but it flips over and the car they collided with bursts into flames, killing the 2 elderly people inside. Who is at fault when a self-driving car ends up killing two people?

It's an intriguing premise. And it expands to who is keeping an eye on the ever-expanding use of AI and making sure it's not running amuck.

The story is mostly told from the father's perspective. He is worried about 1)whether his son will be charged with manslaughter 2)whether he, the supervising parent, will be charged 3) whether his injured wife and 2 daughters are really okay and 4)what the heck is going on with his brilliant wife and the billionaire living next door to the vacation rental they go to to recuperate from the crash.

As the story unfolds, we learn more about the roles various members of the family played that contributed to the accident. (And I really do think the older daughter needed some serious mental health treatment, though her parents didn't seem to realize it.)

A thought-provoking book.
