Significant legal changes are required for the driverless car era

 Human drivers shouldn't be held legally responsible to ensure road safety during the age of autonomous vehicles A report suggests.

In these vehicles the driver needs to be defined as an "user-in-charge", with very distinct legal responsibilities in accordance with the law commissions of England and Wales and Scotland. If something goes wrong, the person who designed the driving system will be the one to blame, and not the driver. A new regulation should determine whether a vehicle can be considered self-driving. In the meantime, car makers must be clear on the distinction between self-drive and driver assistance features. There shouldn't be a in-between of the driverless capabilities as a car can be self-sufficient or it is not. If any type of monitoring is required , in extreme conditions like weather, for instance it shouldn't be considered autonomous. Current driving rules must be followed. Driving in danger Law commissions have been tasked in the year 2018 to produce several reports on the regulations for automatic vehicles, as well as on their use on roads that are public. In their final report, the authors' recommendations are: The person in charge of the user cannot be charged with crimes arising directly from their driving activity like unsafe driving, speeding, or running a red light however, he is still responsible for other duties, including the insurance of passengers and ensuring that they wear seatbelts Certain vehicles could be permitted to drive on their own with no one on the road and a licensed operator accountable for overseeing the trip information needed to assess the fault and liability that results from an accident must be readily available punishments for car manufacturers who do not disclose how their systems function Minister of Transport Trudy Harrison has said that the government will "fully consider" the recommendations. It is expected that the Scottish as well as Welsh government will determine whether to pass legislation. Matthew Avery, chief research strategist for Thatcham Research, which was part of the discussion "In the next 12 months, we're expected to see the very first prototypes of self-driving technology on automobiles within the UK. "It's significant that the Law Commission report highlights the driver's legal obligations and how they must understand that their vehicle is not yet fully self-driving" The previous year it was in 2012 that the Department for Transport gave the green signal to automated lane-keeping systems (ALKS) as the first form of hands-free driving system to be legalized within the UK. Video Game Tesla one of the top companies that develop autonomous vehicles, has come under numerous questions about the marketing for Autopilot which is identical to ALKS and is considered to be to be the second level of the five levels of autonomous vehicles. In the last month, Californian prosecutor filed 2 charges of vehicular manslaughter on the driver the Tesla who ran an red light while using Autopilot which caused the car to crash into another and killing two others for the first time that someone is charged with manslaughter for using an automated system for driving.

  Payton 58 became the new mayor of New Orleans in 2006, just a few months after Hurricane Katrina destroyed the city.
