What Causes Autonomous Vehicle Accidents in Denver?

Autonomous vehicles have now been produced by major companies such as Google, Uber, Tesla, General Motors and Ford. Since autonomous driving technology first began, however, there have been safety concerns, legal issues and serious car accidents. Several issues may cause self-driving vehicle accidents, including:

Software and sensor malfunctions
Issues with the vehicle’s programming
Cybersecurity breaches and hacks
Failure of the technology to respond to road conditions or hazards
Hardware failures, such as with the braking system
Errors by the human operator or supervisor
Poor road conditions or construction zones

When a human operator trusts his or her autonomous vehicle to operate safely, detect hazards and react accordingly, an accident related to self-driving technology can be unexpected and devastating. Injuries such as broken bones, soft-tissue damage, back and spine injuries, and traumatic brain injuries may occur.

Who Is Liable for an Autonomous Vehicle Injury?

Liability, or financial responsibility, for an autonomous vehicle accident in Colorado will depend on the cause of the crash. Potential liable parties include:

The manufacturer of the vehicle (if it contains a defect)
The party responsible for the vehicle’s software or components
Technology or AI system providers
Human driver or operator (in semi-autonomous vehicles)
Drivers outside of the autonomous vehicle
The owner of the vehicle
The government responsible for road design and maintenance

Colorado’s fault-based law requires injured accident victims to prove fault or liability before they can recover financial compensation from an insurance provider.
