On the Improvement of Rules for Identifying the Subject of Tort Liability in the Traffic Accidents of Autonomous Vehicles
In recent years,the appl ication of autonomous vehicle has been promoted,which has brought much convenience to people's travel.However,it has also caused some traffic accidents,among which there exist a lot of legal issues to be explored,and the first one is to identify who should bear the responsibility.Under the existing legal framework,the rules for identifying the subject of liability in motor vehicle traffic accidents cannot be fully applica-ble to the field of autonomous vehicle.The ambiguity in the content of the rules for identifying the subject of product liability,and the difficulty in investigating the causes of traffic accidents caused by the complexity in the operation of autonomous vehicle and the autonomous decision-making,all these factors make the identification of the subject of liability into a dilemma.To solve the above problems,after investigating relevant legislation in foreign countries,it is recommended to use"human intervention"as the applicable criteria for identifying the subject of tort liability,fur-ther specify the rules for identifying the subject of product liability,and improve the supporting measures for investi-gating the causes of traffic accidents,so as to provide the powerful legal guarantee for the stable development of the autonomous driving industry.
