The rise of robotaxis — autonomous or “self-driving” vehicles offering ridesharing services — is a significant technological advancement. However, while these driverless vehicles promise convenience and efficiency, they are not immune to car accidents. When a robotaxi crash occurs, determining liability can be complex. If you or a loved one has been injured in an autonomous vehicle accident, our experienced robotaxi lawyers may be able to help with a lawsuit.
Robotaxi Accident Factors
Robotaxi accidents can result from various factors, including:
- Software errors: Programming flaws or glitches in the vehicle’s operating system.
- Sensor failures: Malfunctioning cameras, radar, or LiDAR sensors that prevent the vehicle from detecting hazards.
- Human oversight: Errors by safety operators or developers operating the vehicle remotely.
- Third-party liability: Negligence by other drivers, pedestrians, or maintenance teams.
There are different tiers of autonomy when it comes to robotaxis and other self-driving cars, from zero use of related tech where a driver is entirely in control of all systems of the car to partially or fully autonomous operations. Some of these vehicles have drivers and some don’t, which can further complicate the legal circumstances around self-driving car accidents.
These accidents often cause serious injuries, including fractures, spinal damage, traumatic brain injuries, and more. Additionally, emotional trauma and financial losses, such as medical bills and lost wages, can have a lasting impact. If you or a loved one has been injured in a robotaxi crash, our attorneys may be able to help you seek justice.
