Are Self-Driving Cars Safe?

Self-driving cars are no longer the stuff of science fiction. Heavy burdens of responsibility come with this truth, however. Automakers must ensure the safety of these vehicles as much as reasonably possible. This means many different things, from making sure the technology is stable to running plenty of preliminary safety tests. When automakers shirk these duties, serious accidents can happen. Examples of issues that can cause autonomous vehicle accidents include:

• Dangerously designed vehicles or parts
• Auto part defects
• Vehicles missing important parts or features
• Autonomous equipment malfunctions
• A glitch in the vehicle’s self-driving features
• Bad weather interfering with the technology
• GPS system failures
• Failure to properly instruct drivers on how to use autonomous vehicles
• Negligent or incompetent drivers

Years from now autonomous vehicles may prevent hundreds of thousands of traffic accident collisions and deaths. Today, however, these inventions are still in the budding stages of creation. That, unfortunately, means years of trial and error – likely at a high human cost. If you or a loved one was hurt or killed by a self-driving car, contact our Hollywood autonomous driving accident attorneys to discuss your rights. You may have a claim against the vehicle’s creators and/or other parties.

Common Injuries in an Autonomous Vehicle Accident

When an autonomous vehicle collides with another vehicle, a median, a bicyclist, or pedestrian, injuries can be catastrophic. The most common injuries include broken bones, lacerations, contusions, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. Damage to the spine or brain can cause lasting repercussions on cognitive and physical abilities.

Always contact a car accident lawyer if you suffer serious injuries in any type of collision. A personal injury claim could give you compensation for your past and future medical costs, lost income, physical pain, and emotional suffering. It can give you the closure and financial stability your family needs for a brighter future. If you lost a loved one in an autonomous vehicle accident, your family could recover additional compensation for wrongful death.

How to Recover from an Autonomous Vehicle Accident

A vehicle manufacturer, another driver, or the city of Hollywood could be liable for your autonomous vehicle accident. The “liable” party is the one responsible for your accident’s proximate cause. The manufacturer could be liable, for example, if a technological malfunction resulted in your car crashing into someone on the interstate. Determining fault and liability may take an in-depth investigation into the collision. That’s where we come in.
