Autonomous cars have the ability to provide many benefits such as reducing the number of road accidents, nevertheless, vehicle crashes will happen so who is responsible for the liability? Legislators are reviewing this subject and the many legal and liability issues that come with Autonomous vehicles. There are many companies that are developing this technology which covers public transportation, personal automobiles, and tractor trailer vehicles.
As cars are evolving, liability is becoming an increasingly grey area. The apportionment of liability will become murkier still in instances where it is not clear who, or what, is at fault. Traditional motor insurance generally assumes that drivers will be personally liable and, at the moment, the law's emphasis is on the actions of the driver. However, as a number of commentators have highlighted, risk will …show more content…
In addition, supply chain vendors who develop software and hardware may enter the arena of liability in this new age of machines and internet of things.
Salient transportation highway design will adapt to the new autonomous vehicles by communicating with the autonomous vehicle to provide traffic updates, construction updates, and weather information. Ameliorate highways will be equipped with sensors, cameras, and computer technology to better manage traffic and road conditions.
Over the next year, AAA aims to give some 250,000 people free rides on the self-driving shuttle, which will run a 0.6-mile loop with three stops (and a safety driver onboard just in case). AAA plans to donate $1 per passenger to the Las Vegas Victims’ Fund, for a minimum of $100,000. The group will also survey riders before and after each trip to understand why the majority of Americans remain anxious about self-driving technology, and whether the shuttle experience changes their mind.
