Self-Driving Car Accidents Lawyer in Memphis, Tennessee

Accidents And The Self-Driving Car

You know from watching the news that car manufacturers and noncar companies like Google are developing vehicles that drive by themselves, using advanced sensing and other technology to protect the vehicle from driver error. It is widely anticipated that autonomous car technology will significantly reduce highway injuries and fatalities.

But no one imagines that injuries will disappear altogether. There have already been serious accidents involving self-driving cars in tests, usually involving intersection collisions.

Many observers think autonomous cars will usher in a new era without significant accident injuries. We think that is unlikely, at least for the foreseeable future. Carmakers will continue to bear liability for the cars they make and for negligence in design and performance. Self-driving car accidents will occur. When it is clear that flawed design, programming and manufacture contributed to the accident, then the negligent party will be liable if they did not use “reasonable care” in designing, programming and testing the car.

Self-Driving Cars Are Out There

The idea of a self-driving car is not a big issue in the Memphis metro area — yet. But it is coming sooner than you think. In some areas of the country, they are being tested in traffic. Before long, these self-driving vehicles are sure to be part of daily life in Tennessee.
