Nature Of Responsibility For Self-Driving Vehicles

Abstract

Transportation is constantly evolving and human beings always harness modern inventions and techniques for their comfort and well-being. Those who use these inventions put lives at risk and money for damage, they must compensate the injured for their damage, and as states move to provide these facilities for this type of vehicle by exempting parking fees and license and registration fees, which predicts the spread of these vehicles in the coming years, making the message practically important when going to solve the problems that will be raised in practice when the proliferation of self-driving vehicles in the roads. The theoretical importance lies in the scarcity of references and judicial rulings on this subject in the Arab Library in particular, due to the non-proliferation of self-driving vehicles in the Arab state so far, and in light of the trend towards the use of artificial intelligence in order to make the most of this technology and use it in various fields, which raises the question of the legislative system that helps states to make the technology of self-driving vehicles available in the roads of the state?
With the advantages offered by self-driving vehicles, another aspect of the disadvantages in practice has emerged: traffic accidents and the deaths and damage they can cause to people and money, as well as the absence of legislative provisions under the Federal Traffic Act to regulate this type of vehicle. Through this study, we will show what self-driving vehicles are, in addition to distinguishing them from similar systems, as well as highlighting the nature of responsibility for self-driving vehicle accidents and the position of the law.
