Who is legally responsible if an autonomous vehicle is involved in an accident, and how will victims be compensated?


Updated by MOT

Under the current autonomous vehicles regulatory sandbox, all autonomous vehicle operators must have liability insurance that covers personal injury or property damage caused to others, so that victims can be compensated promptly. Data recorders on autonomous vehicles will help investigators piece together what happened and identify the source of error. The upcoming Autonomous Vehicles Act will provide a more comprehensive framework that clearly sets out the responsibilities and accountabilities of the key actors involved in operating autonomous vehicles.
