Abstract

There is no doubt that technological advancement in the field of transportation has led to the emergence of new means, including self-driving vehicles, which rely on artificial intelligence technologies, enabling them to move from one place to another without the need for a driver. With the emergence of these vehicles, several legal issues have arisen, including: whether a self-driving car is considered a motorized land vehicle, and determining liability among a group of actors, such as the car designer, programmer, manufacturer, owner, and user, in case the self-driving vehicle causes damage to others. Self-driving vehicles are currently widespread in many countries. They are considered semi-autonomous robots, as they do not have complete independence, but consist of a set of systems with robotic functions, such as sensors and cameras, in addition to driver assistance systems that detect empty parking spaces along the sidewalk. It is worth noting that these robotic functions have been present in vehicles for twenty years.
