Britain has decided that the responsibility for accidents caused by self-driving cars should be borne by their manufacturers, not the owners or users of the cars. The step can be called logical, because if a self-driving car is advertised as truly self-driving, then it should also be so with all the resulting consequences and responsibilities for what is advertised.
Of course, accidents caused by a self-driving car will be the responsibility of the manufacturer to the extent that the car itself will drive autonomously. If a self-driving car is driven by a human, then the responsibility will lie on the shoulders of the human. Insurers have also expressed appreciation for the introduction of clarity in the field of self-driving cars.
Great Britain is going to attract investments and start-ups in this way, which will finally have a clear regulation of self-driving cars in road traffic. One example is Wayve, which has raised 260 million dollars for the development of self-driving car technology, part of the investment even comes from Microsoft.
Perhaps Britain could become the new California, where self-driving car tests have been going on for a long time. In October, California ordered General Motors to remove all of its Cruise self-driving cars from the streets because General Motors had not fully disclosed the safety of its self-driving car technology.
