Autonomous Driving and Law
Autonomous Driving and Law
Automated and autonomous cars are challenging the legislation. How can they be integrated into the road traffic? How should their road safety be guaranteed legally? How can personal data be secured? How can uninvolved, third parties be protected? Who is to blame if machines or intelligent systems fail? This newly published edition analyses the current legal situation in Austria concerning automated cars for the very first time. The important questions, especially concerning constitutional, liability, penal, privacy and traffic law are under investigation.
Traffic planning, traffic engineering and geo-information provide the framework of the legal analysis. Reflections about self-learning vehicles and legal comparisons from Germany and the United States of America show potential developments for Austria.
