Challenges of Autonomous Vehicles: Investigating the Legal Implications and Regulatory Challenges Associated with the Rise of Autonomous Vehicles

Abstract

The deployment of autonomous vehicles (AVs) introduces transformative possibilities for transportation, from improved safety to enhanced efficiency. However, these advancements are accompanied by complex legal and regulatory challenges, such as liability for accidents, data privacy concerns, cybersecurity risks, and ethical considerations in AV programming. This paper examines these challenges, comparing different international regulatory approaches, discussing ethical dilemmas, and proposing legal frameworks. Through these discussions, we aim to build a comprehensive understanding of the evolving legal landscape for autonomous vehicles and advocate for robust legal reforms to ensure their safe and responsible integration into society.
