Legal Implications of Autonomous Vehicles: What We Know So Far and What's Left to Work On

摘要

Autonomous Vehicles (AVs), from autonomy level 3 to 5 are expected to enter the EU market within a year and our infrastructures, as well as legal and social systems are hardly prepared to deal with this technology, which continues to advance rapidly right in front of us. The main purpose of this article is to critically analyse, from a cognitive science point of view, merging AI, philosophy and law, what has been done in this domain and what else requires immediate attention in order to allow AVs to perform a safe and uneventful entry in our society.
