Tesla crash raises
questions about legal liability.
USA Today (4/3, Cassidy, 5.28M) reports that a
collision last week involving a Tesla Model X in Autopilot mode “opens the door
to questions in the emerging and still-murky legal realm of automated and
driver-assisted vehicles.” The article notes that according to the NHTSA and
Society of Automotive Engineers, there are six levels of driving automation.
According to University of South Carolina Law Professor Bryant Walker Smith,
“Anything that’s below level three, it’s clearly a human that’s supposed to be
doing part of the driving.” Arizona DOT Director for Policy Kevin Biesty “said
more of the driving regulations ... could shift from driver to car, and
therefore from state to federal government.”
