Is the law ready for driverless cars?
Calo R. Communications of the ACM61 (5):34-36,2018.Type:Article
Date Reviewed: Jun 13 2018

Current and future technologies will likely continue to be beset with clumsy legal laws. Should driverless vehicles and devices be responsible for violations such as a crash? Depending on the situation, Calo, in this rare viewpoint, echoes the difficulties of litigating the guilty partners between humans and technology.

Debatably, should the courts be weighing the liabilities of drone creators, driverless vehicles, factory robots, and automated devices into decisions when accidents occur? Also, should human operators of vehicles equipped with enhanced technologies be held accountable for accidents and failures?

Calo warns current and future creators of technologies to be aware of the difficult current and emerging laws in several rapidly changing areas. Should future technology innovators be hindered by fears of known, unknown, and future litigation laws? All risk assessment lawyers and professionals should read this insightful and thoughtful article, and help to craft and protect laws that help sustain innovation in light of current and future US laws.
