Summary/Abstract: The article informs about the regulation for partly or fully autonomously driving cars in Germany which the legislator enacted in 2017. The new provisions and amendments are discussed in detail. However, the existing liability system for road traffic accidents remains essentially unaltered. Also, the insurance regulation remained untouched. In order to exploit the advantages of the new technology which is not yet fully developed and will be available in future, further legislative steps are needed.
