'They will also lay out that users of self-driving cars will not be responsible for crashes. Instead insurance companies, not individuals, will be liable for claims in many circumstances, the DfT said.'
So the liability rests with your insurer and I suppose they are just going to suck this up?
- mytailorisrich 5y agoWhat's the problem? Ultimately insurance companies pay for accidents as it stands now though they can and increase increase premiums. If self-driving cars have fewer accidents than human drivers then insurers will actually save money. If the accident is caused by a defect of the car then I'm sure the manufacturer will remain liable. The issue is then one of proof.
