A Look at the Legal Environment for Driverless Vehicles

TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has released a prepublication version of Legal Research Digest 69: A Look at the Legal Environment for Driverless Vehicles. The report explores legal policy issues that may be associated with driverless vehicles. It provides an introduction to how civil and criminal liability may adhere to driverless vehicles, the implications of these vehicles for privacy and security, how these vehicles are likely to become subject to and potentially alter prevailing automobile insurance regimes, and other related topics.
