Overview

Objectives:

The main objective of the project is to perform a comprehensive systematic analysis of civil liability arising from the operation of autonomous vehicles and draft four guidelines. The analysis will include EU and Czech laws as well as case-law, U.S. laws, and will take in account different levels of autonomy.

Guidelines:

  1. recommendations on how to meet manufacturer's prevention obligation with regard to product safety, and liability for software as well as data;
  2. model of contractual agreements on liability between entities involved in the operation of autonomous vehicles;
  3. recommendations on amending Czech laws with regard to EU legislative efforts;
  4. recommendations for handling data indispensable for dealing with an event causing damage for insurance purposes.
