The emergence of artificial intelligence technology and self-driving cars has
impacted the existing legal regulations. The most critical of which is the
determination of whether the responsible party is a "person" or an "AI
self-driving system" in the event of a traffic accident. This involves disputes
over the legal personality of AI self-driving cars. Looking at the design of the
current legal system, natural people are the main body of the accident.
However, when the era of fully automatic driving comes in the future, the
self-driving system will be responsible for the whole process of driving, and
the legal issues involved will be much more complicated, except whether the
AI self-driving system itself has subjective consciousness. At the same time, it
is necessary to examine the legal responsibilities of the vehicle driver, vehicle
manufacturer, vehicle user, and even the vehicle owner.
Compared with traditional vehicles, fully self-driving cars not be able to find
the object of liability according to the traditional legal system. This requires a
redefinition of the driver and further amendments to the law in order to
effectively solve the problems faced by fully self-driving cars. Technology can
never be 100% safe, and the same is true for AI self-driving technology. If we
want to use this technology, we must tolerate 1% risks.
