Public Perception and Autonomous Vehicle Liability
The deployment of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and the accompanying societal and economic benefits will greatly depend on how much liability AV firms will have to carry for accidents involving these vehicles, which in turn impacts their insurability and associated insurance premiums. This paper investigate whether accidents where the AV was not at-fault could become an […]
