Abstract:
Every day, road accidents caused by human errors result in countless injuries and fatalities worldwide. Factors like distracted driving, impaired judgment, fatigue, and recklessness contribute to a significant portion of these incidents. Self-driving cars, equipped with a sophisticated array of sensors, cameras, and advanced algorithms, have the potential to drastically reduce the occurrence of such accidents. Unlike human drivers who may become fatigued or distracted, autonomous vehicles maintain constant vigilance, monitoring their surroundings and making split-second decisions based on real-time data. This capacity to consistently adhere to traffic laws, maintaining safe distances, and anticipate potential hazards offers a promising solution to the issues of human fallibility. Despite, the advantages deployment of self-driving cars also raises critical questions regarding liability and responsibility in the event of accidents or incidents. Self-driving cars, while promising, present a range of challenges like Malfunctions, sensor errors, and system failures might occur, leading to accidents or vehicle shutdowns. Ethical dilemmas can arise when programming AI to make life-or-death decisions in accidents. It is also complicated the determination of responsibility in case of accidents involving autonomous vehicles. Job displacement is also a concern, and regulatory frameworks struggle to keep up with evolving technology. Additionally, cybersecurity vulnerabilities could expose vehicles to hacking, raising questions about data privacy and overall system integrity. Hence, there should be some properlegal policy and regulations to face these difficulties. So, this research paper provides an overview of the evolution nof autonomous vehicles and the levels of automation of self-driving car systems. Subsequently, it examines the diverse stakeholders involved in the development, manufacturing, and deployment of autonomous vehicles. An in-depth analysis of the legal framework governing self-driving cars in different jurisdictions. Furthermore, we examined the case studies and real-world incidents to understand the practical application of liability principles. The paper concludes by proposing potential solutions and recommendations to address liability concerns surrounding self-driving cars. It discusses the importance of establishing standardized regulations that foster innovation while ensuring public safety. Overall, this research paper contributes to the ongoing debate on the liability of self-driving cars, aiming to shed light on the challenges and opportunities presented by autonomous vehicles and to assist policymakers, industry stakeholders, and the public in responsibly and safely navigating this transformative technology.
