Research On Tort Liability Of Intelligent Drive

Intelligent Drive,as one of the most promising artificial intelligence technologies for rapid commercial implementation,is the most leading embodiment of artificial intelligence technologies in the field of transportation,thus the industry status and legal issues reflected by the Intelligent Drive can represent the development situation of smart mobility technology.There is no general concept of Intelligent Drive in both the whole industry and academia,while the term of “Intelligent Drive” can include “smart driving technology” and “smart driving car” according to different context,meanwhile Intelligent Drive is classified into several categories by the industry based on the level of its intelligence.Tort liability,one of the top problems which are necessary to be solved before the commercial implementation of Intelligent Drive,is hard to handle,of which the fundamental and important reason lies in the co-competition on the vehicles controlling rights and the deficiency of legal regulations.Aiming at the Tort liability problem of Intelligent Dive,the academic research is focusing on the discussions of issues such as the selection of tort liability types,the selection of tort liability subject,and the selection of tort imputation principle,etc.For the type selection,dual accountability of “product liability+traffic accident liability” gained much attention,thereby deriving two different solutions: liability types combination and liability types seperation.For the subject selection,it can be extended to two major groups of liability subjects,namely the user side and the producer side according to the difference of tort liability type selection.For the principle selection,it is not necessary to modify the imputation principle of various tort liability types on a large scale,and it is sufficient to continue to adopt the relevant practices of the existing tort legal system.Additionally,decision-making ethics of Intelligent Drive has also become a key point of concern in the academia.Decision-making algorithm is not only the root cause of the issue of tort liability,but also initiates the academia's thinking on the legal philosophy of the decision-making ethics,of which the focus is how to set decisionmaking algorithm standards reasonably and determine the subject of standard decision.In terms of related system support,it is also worth paying attention to the supervision of the Intelligent Drive industry,supporting regulations and policies,clear regulatory bodies,and protection of user personal information.
