Abstract

This article provides an overview of potential liability models as applied to autonomous vehicles. Uncertainty is rampant among courts, regulators, legislators, law enforcement and consumers when considering how to react to accidents involving autonomous vehicles – however unlikely. Uncertainty during a technological transition provides fertile ground to test the boundaries of the law and to identify what attorneys need to know in the 'near' future to continue successful practices.

Keywords: insurance, autonomous vehicles, technology, liability, law
