Car insurance in the age of self-driving – analysis of the Automated and Electric Vehicles act 2018

Summary/Abstract: With the inevitable rise of autonomous vehicles, it is vital for legislators to create legal frameworks for situations previously non-existent. Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 enacted in the UK is an at- tempt in adjusting currently existing third-party insurance framework to the needs of driverless vehicles. The article is an attempt in analysis of “Part 1, Automated vehicles: liability of insurers etc” of the Act, its relatively limited scope, and norms introduced to regulate the cases of accidents of vehicles driving themselves without human intervention, and possible consequences of unauthorised software modi- fications in regards to insurers liability.
