The Laws and Liabilities of Autonomous Vehicles
Currently, 93% of car accidents are caused by errors in user judgment or control.⁴ To prevent accidents from happening in the first place, manufacturers are implementing advanced driver assistance (ADA) systems to take control away from the driver. The features of these include collision sensors, automatic braking, cruise control, and lane-position maintenance systems.⁵ The next step of advanced driver assistance does not involve any driver input whatsoever––autonomous vehicles (AVs).
