Research On Tort Liability For Autonomous Vehicle Traffic Accidents

The wide application of self-driving cars will liberate manpower to the greatest extent and bring great convenience to people’s lives.But at the same time,it is inevitable that there will be traffic accidents caused by self-driving cars,which will cause people to pay attention to the tort liability of self-driving cars.There is currently no specific legislation on the liability of infringement of autonomous vehicles.In view of the particularity of autonomous vehicles,the existing laws and regulations are not sufficient to solve the problem of liability for infringement caused by autonomous vehicles.In order to solve the legal liability problems caused by the infringement of self-driving car traffic accidents,provide a legal basis for judicial judgments,and better balance the legal interests of the aggressor and the victim,this article conducts in-depth research and proposes corresponding solutions.This article will elaborate on a series of issues concerning the liability for infringement of self-driving car traffic accidents in four parts:The first chapter is the introduction,which mainly elaborates the purpose and significance of this research,the current research status at home and abroad,research methods,research scope,etc.The second chapter is an overview of tort liability for autopilot traffic accidents,which is divided into three parts.The first part reviews the Typical case of "Uber caused death",and analyzes the case,and puts forward legal considerations in the field of liability for infringement of self-driving car traffic accidents.The second part is about the concept and classification of self-driving cars,explaining the basic concepts of self-driving and distinguishing it from driverless and artificial intelligence.Then introduce the existing classification standards of autonomous vehicles,clarify the level of autonomous driving,and point out that the research object of this article is autonomous vehicles of L3 level and above.The third part is the meaning and characteristics of the liability for infringement of self-driving car traffic accidents,to clarify the difference between self-driving car traffic accident infringement and common infringement.Chapter 3 of this article elaborates on the legal regulations and existing problems related to autonomous vehicles in my country.Laws and regulations related to autonomous vehicles include two parts in content,namely,autonomous vehicle laws and regulations and automobile traffic accident laws.Later,the problems of tort liability for selfdriving car traffic accidents are discussed in detail from the four aspects of the responsible party,the principle of liability,causality and the consequences of damage.The fourth chapter is based on the previous article,and puts forward perfect suggestions on the tort liability of self-driving cars in traffic accidents.This article proposes to improve the legal provisions within the existing legal framework to solve the problem of liability for infringement of self-driving car traffic accidents.Including the clarification of the responsible party for the infringement of self-driving car traffic accidents,and the corresponding liability by the car owner and system controller in different situations;regarding the principle of infringement liability rules,it is recommended to apply the principle of different liability according to different situations,and no longer apply solely to fault liability In addition,it is recommended to introduce black box technology to strengthen the determination of causality;for compensation issues,increase compensation,build new insurance types,and introduce social relief to protect the interests of victims to the greatest extent.
