The rapid development of autonomous vehicles poses new challenges not only for the automotive industry, but also for the legal system. How will manufacturers and drivers be held liable when control of the vehicle becomes increasingly automated? The book "Autonomous Vehicles and Civil Liability in a Global Perspective" offers the first-ever coverage and comparative analysis of the civil liability regulations that exist in a wide variety of countries across the world in relation to vehicles and their driving functions at all levels of automation according to the SAE J3016 standard.
