On The Tort Liability And Undertaking Of Self-driving Cars

Nowadays,there is no need to describe the current status and prospects of artificial intelligence,and artificial intelligence products have also been integrated into our lives,the typical representative of which is self-driving cars.The ensuing self-driving car infringement accidents occurred around the world,and the application of laws has not developed with the development of artificial intelligence.As a result,it is difficult for victims to get relief timely when disputes arise.Therefore,research on the tort liability of self-driving cars is helpful to confirm the legal attributes of self-driving cars,then it is helpful to solve the legal application problems of relational infringement events in reality.This paper uses the literature research method,case analysis method and comparative research method.Through combing and comparison,it is found that the problems caused by artificial intelligence products due to their autonomy,data dependence,and fragile causality are mainly caused by the uncertainty of the responsible party after the accident,greater privacy and security risks,and the cause of the responsibility is more difficult to find.However these issues have room to be resolved under the current legal system,but this system should make some appropriate changes.According to the existing civil law system,artificial intelligence products should be included in the category of "things",and it is too early to give them "fictional personality." However,the accidents caused by autonomous vehicles should adhere to the principle of liability in the existing law,and the distribution of responsibilities should be carried out in stages: in the case of separation of people and vehicles,the autonomous vehicle should bear product responsibility.In the mixed case,it should return to the liability of traditional motor vehicle road traffic accidents,and the producer should bear the product responsibility,and the seller and the road manager should bear the liability for compensation for their respective faults.In the corresponding supporting system,the existing strong traffic insurance is no longer sufficient to deal with the losses caused by autonomous vehicles,and it should be reformed from three aspects: increasing its insurance subject,expanding its insurance coverage,and increasing its liability limit.In addition,a self-driving car compensation fund led by the government should be established and linked to a supervision system based on registration and approval.Whether to join the supervision should be determined by the producers themselves but it cannot be forced so that it can form a virtuous circle called“one for all,all for one”.Through this kind of responsibility distribution and the corresponding matching system,we hope to reach a balance between industrial development and victim relief.
