<\/a>Autonomous Vehicle Accidents and Liability<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to self-driving car accidents, the most common liable parties include the human operator, technology company, automaker, government, or a third party. It is possible for more than one of these parties to be responsible for any damages suffered by a passenger or driver of an autonomous vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Operator of the Vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Self-driving cars are not fully autonomous; they still require a human supervisor or operator. It is very possible for the operator of the autonomous vehicle to be responsible for a car accident. Whether driving or on autopilot, if an operator of a self-driving vehicle is reckless or negligent during the ride, and as a result an accident happens, it could be their fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Technology Company or Vehicle Manufacturer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There is a company that made the actual vehicle, then there is the company that made the technology possible. If a self-driving car accident occurs because the technology company was negligent in some way. For instance, if they did not properly test the vehicle before releasing it or resolve a significant microchip defect in the autonomous technology, they could be held liable for an injured victim\u2019s damages and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The automaker of the vehicle might be responsible for a self-driving car collision or accident if there is a defect in the car\u2019s assembly, design, or advertising that directly caused the accident and subsequent damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Government Agency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In rare cases, a government agency can be liable for a self-driving vehicle accident. This might happen if an autonomous car accident occurs as a result of inadequate safety testing, safety rules, and fundamental regulations, or due to a serious roadway defect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Third Parties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Third parties that might be responsible for a self-driving car accident include drunk drivers, reckless drivers, negligent commercial truck drivers, or a business that fails to maintain a safe parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
