The vague rules of the road in the case of self-driving cars (or the absence of them as such) is one of the main factors holding back the development of this industry. China has become a pioneer: since August 1, in the huge metropolis of Shenzhen, unmanned taxis without a driver are allowed to drive (however, an employee who will insure artificial intelligence is still required to be in the cabin). At the same time, China has developed rules that determine those responsible for accidents involving autonomous taxis.
According to the new laws, if a driver was present inside the vehicle, then he becomes responsible in the event of an accident (due to the fault of an autonomous vehicle). If there was no “person capable of driving a car”, then the owner of the drone is considered guilty. However, if it is proved that the accident was due to a defect in the parts or software of the autonomous car, then the responsibility lies with the car manufacturer or software developer – the owner of the drone will be able to sue (as well as other participants in the accident).
