Abstract

As artificial intelligence technology rapidly advances, autonomous driving technology is gradually becoming a key driving force in the field of intelligent transportation. However, the application of this technology requires analysis from multiple dimensions such as traffic violation liability, accident liability determination and accountability, and the principles of legal liability distribution in autonomous driving. The assignment of traffic violations and accident liabilities for autonomous vehicles needs to comprehensively consider various factors including manufacturers, technology providers, vehicle owners, and passengers, and a fair and reasonable liability allocation mechanism should be established based on actual situations. In response to the legal challenges faced by autonomous driving technology, such as autonomous decision-making, data security and privacy protection, and technological defects and product liability, there is an urgent need to strengthen the construction of laws and regulations, improve technical safety standards, and establish a multi-party collaboration mechanism.
