Self-driving cars like Waymo are no longer futuristic concepts—they’re already on the road in many U.S. cities. These vehicles promise safer streets and fewer crashes, but early data suggests that accidents involving autonomous cars are becoming a real concern.
The problem often lies in how responsibility is determined. If a human driver runs a red light, liability is clear. But what if a Waymo vehicle’s sensors fail to detect a cyclist? Or the AI software makes a poor split-second decision? Victims may be left wondering whether to pursue the vehicle’s operator, the manufacturer, or the company behind the software.
Insurance policies are also playing catch-up, leaving injured parties in confusing situations with delayed claims and unclear coverage.
