- Abstract:
- With the rapid improvement of AI technology, the commercialization and popularization of selfdriving cars are able to count for the days. The development of technology is often a doubleedged sword. On the one hand, selfdriving cars bring social benefits, economic benefits and huge environmental benefits to mankind; on the other hand, selfdriving cars can not completely avoid traffic accidents. To solve the problems caused by ambiguous infringement liabilities in selfdriving car accidents, and provide a useful guidance for improving the legal system of compensation for selfdriving car traffic accidents, this paper analyses how to define and allocate the legal responsibilities for a selfdriving car traffic accident on the basis of exploring the challenges autonomous and selflearning features of selfdriving cars pose for various current laws such as Tort Liability Law and Product Quality Law. Results show that subjects involved in the operation of selfdriving cars should take strict responsibility according to the cause of the accident and different legal relationships, and responsibilities should be rationally allocated among various subjects. Referring to Amendment to the German Road Traffic Law, the US Autopilot Law, the British Automobile Technology the Aviation Bill and other legislation related to autonomous driving, this paper gives some feasible suggestions such as giving full play to the functions of various insurance systems, increasing the upper limit of compensation for traffic compulsory liability insurance, adding product liability compulsory insurance system and so on in order to protect the interests of victims.
