Automated Driving Liability Issue Map

Potentially relevant actors include the human driver, passenger, vehicle owner, fleet, autonomous-vehicle operator, remote-assistance provider, vehicle manufacturer, automation developer, component and sensor suppliers, maintainer, map or data provider, roadway authority, and another road user.

Issue spotting starts with the system role, driver duties, ODD, event evidence, maintenance, warnings, training, handoff, product design, software update, contracts, permits, reporting, jurisdiction, insurance policies, and applicable law.

Possible legal and coverage questions can involve negligence, product liability, vicarious liability, statutory duties, regulatory compliance, contract allocation, subrogation, first-party coverage, third-party liability, commercial fleet coverage, and cyber events. Only qualified counsel and insurers can assess a real case.
