In the automotive sector, digitalisation, connectivity and automation are rapidly expanding. In tomorrow’s vehicles, human beings will merely be passengers – which raises a host of complex legal issues regarding accidents involving self-driving vehicles. This book is the first to offer a comprehensive, global overview of civil liability regimes for all levels of vehicle automation in jurisdictions that represent some of the most important markets for the automotive industry. After a technical introduction to how self-driving cars work, the individual chapters analyse the liability for driving automation at SAE J3016 levels 0 through 5 from a country-specific perspective. All chapters were written by experts in the field and follow a uniform legal structure. Hence, the book offers an essential comparative analysis of similarities and differences in the jurisdictions examined, while also providing suggestions for future legislative changes at the national and international level. The book is not only relevant for legal scholars and practitioners but will also be of particular interest to anyone involved in the design, manufacture, distribution and operation of self-driving vehicles.

Das Organisationsverschulden wurde durch das Reichsgericht im Bereich des Deliktsrecht entwickelt und seitdem auf immer mehr Bereiche ausgedehnt. Der Begriff Organisationsverschulden erfreut sich in der Rspr. großer Beliebtheit. Im Nachhinein steht leichthin fest, welche Maßnahmen den Schaden verhindert hätten. Ungeklärt ist allerdings sowohl in Rechtsprechung als auch Literatur, was Organisationspflichten und die Voraussetzungen für ein Organisationsverschulden sind, sowie ob ein einheitliches Organisationsverschulden existiert. Der Verfasser legitimiert, systematisiert und konkretisiert das Organisationsverschulden und untersucht, ob von einem einheitlichen Organisationsverschulden innerhalb und außerhalb des Deliktsrechts die Rede sein kann.

Die interdisziplinäre Arbeit befasst sich mit automatisierter Rechtsanwendung und ihren Grenzen am Beispiel des automatisierten/autonomen Fahrens. Es wird untersucht, ob der Regelungsgehalt der verhaltensrechtlichen Verkehrsvorschriften von StVG/StVO für das automatisierte/autonome Fahren ausreichend ist. Der Autor arbeitet dazu die gesetzlichen Anforderungen heraus und zeigt auf, wie diese umgesetzt werden müssen. Anhand der Dilemmasituation wird analysiert, welche Anforderungen an die Programmierung erwachsen. Der Autor untersucht sodann am Beispiel des Abbremsens, ob Fahrzeuge die geltenden Verkehrsvorschriften umsetzen können. Mittels der Formalisierung des Rechts zeigt er schließlich auf, wie Gesetze angepasst werden müssen, damit automatisierte Rechtsanwendung möglich ist.
