  4. How to find Who’s Liable in an Autonomous Car Accident? In the past decade, there were sightings of several different car brands and their vehicles. These autonomous cars are supposed to be safe and programmed to safely get you from one destination to another. However, there have been reported cases of accidents involving autonomous cars. But who is to blame in such a situation? “self-driving” Call experiencedand knowledgeable Los Angeles car accident attorney and found out that even though there is a small number of self-driving cars out there, accidents still occur. Here is what you can do when you find yourself in a car accident involving an autonomous vehicle, and here is who you can file a claim against in that situation.

  5. Who To Blame? Since most autonomous cars have a steering wheel and a “manual” driving mode, usually there is a driver behind that wheel. If that driver decided to let the “autopilot” take him home or safely park the vehicle, in case there is an accident, that driver will be held responsible. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive the vehicle and to react if the vehicle’s software malfunctions. Since a computer software is responsible for keeping the car on the road, if it is not updated when a newer version is available, it could cause the car to malfunction, in which case it is the driver/owner of the vehicle that will be held responsible once again. In the majority of cases, the car owner or the one sitting behind the wheel is responsible for all accidents caused by the vehicle. However, there are a few situations where someone else is to blame. More about that is listed below.

These cars are equipped with dozens of improved sensors which help the car’s positioning system and help it navigate down the road, as well as avoid any obstacles on the road. However, technology can fail and when it does, there are consequences. If you were involved in a car accident involving a malfunctioning self-driving car, you may be eligible to sue the car manufacturing company.
