LEGAL UPDATES

Self-driving cars - Who is liable for accidents?

As self-driving vehicles such as Teslas and Waymos become more common on public streets, there is no question that these vehicles will start to be involved in more accidents, whether through their own defects or as a result of the negligence of other drivers on the streets. This begs the question: Who’s liable when a self-driving vehicle causes an accident? The short answer: it depends. In California, liability for accidents involving self-driving cars depends on several factors, including the vehicle’s ownership, operation, and defects (whether in the software or hardware of the vehicle.)
