RoboLaw examine driverless car issues

RoboLaw, a consortium of Italian lawyers and experts, has begun examining the legal issues for cases in which driverless cars and other robots become involved in accidents.

The group is looking at issues in which a driverless car crashed or in which a surgical robot killed a patient. Guidelines from RoboLaw, presented to the European Parliament, include a set of principles. The authors say: ‘When human beings act without using technologies, it is sometimes hard enough to determine who is responsible for what. The introduction of [technology] artifacts makes things even more complicated.’ Source: LiveScience
