Exploring Legal Liability In The Age Of Autonomous Vehicles And Addressing Cyberattack Risks Under Indian Law

Author(s) Ramachandra Subramanian

Abstract Recent developments in technology have enabled the introduction of autonomous vehicles (AVs) into transportation systems. This has brought about the necessity to revise the existing laws in place owing to the significant challenges posed by AVs to the conventional concepts of determining legal liability in the event of an accident. This paper assesses whether and if so, to what extent these issues can be included and addressed within the boundaries of the existing legal framework with the forethought of technological advancements.
This paper sheds light upon the complexities faced while assigning liability in the event of an AV accident, which may involve various parties including manufacturers, software developers, vehicle owners, and operators by exploring various liability models ranging from product liability to operator negligence. The legal position in India is looked into while also considering the approaches of other legal systems across the globe.
Factoring in the emerging issue of cyberattacks on AVs, this paper also examines their potential impact on liability and the need for cybersecurity measures to mitigate risks. The adequacy of the law on this front is parallelly scrutinised. By identifying gaps in the Indian legal framework, this paper aims to contribute to the development of an adequate liability regime for the autonomous age and promote the safe and responsible development of AVs.
