Waymo Launches in Santa Monica
Waymo’s driverless taxi launch in Santa Monica sparks excitement and concern. As Waymo One becomes available, questions arise about safety. With eight cameras providing a 360-degree view, Waymo aims to enhance safety amid ongoing concerns.
Self-driving technology, championed by Waymo, Tesla, and General Motors, faces activism highlighting safety risks. Challenges, such as lane-keeping issues and communication gaps, persist. Legal obligations demand safety prioritization in design, manufacturing, and marketing.
How is Liability Determined?
Liability in self-driving car accidents can result from design flaws and software defects. The fatal Uber autonomous vehicle accident in Phoenix involved a software bug. Seeking justice involves interviews, obtaining footage, preserving records, and consulting an experienced personal injury attorney.
Accidents involving autonomous vehicles are intricate, with potential negligence by multiple parties. Safety drivers, though typically present, may not prevent all accidents.
