Legal liability at issue in vehicle automation

Self-driving cars are programmed to identify and avoid risk, but in the case of an accident, who is legally responsible?

Research aims to reduce collision risks in partially automated vehicles

Most cars have cruise control, automatically slow down if you get too close to the vehicle in front of you, or alert you if you are drifting out of your lane.

But do such automations make drivers less attentive, increasing the risk of collisions?

Public needs education on vehicle automation: professor

As automated technologies are increasingly incorporated into car design, consumers need to educate themselves on these features for safety reasons.
