自动驾驶汽车交通事故侵权法律适用研究

Study on the Application of Law of Tort in Traffic Accidents of Autonomous Vehicle

摘要: 自动驾驶汽车作为人工智能的产物，设计初衷是通过强大算法避免交通事故的发生，但近年来自动驾驶汽车发生交通事故也多有所闻。如何应对自动驾驶汽车交通事故引发的大量的法律问题亟需解决。基于此，本文立意对自动驾驶汽车交通事故中存在的侵权法律适用困境进行论述，针对自动驾驶汽车交通事故中常见的侵权责任主体认定困难、举证责任分配不公、缺乏法律救济途径等问题，结合目前法律和社会现状提出自动驾驶汽车的分级确定侵权责任主体、完善举证责任分配、构建过错认定标准以及建立责任保险制度等可行性方法，希望推动自动驾驶汽车交通事故侵权法律的适用，为自动驾驶技术在我国稳步发展创造良好的法律制度。

Abstract: As a product of artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicle is designed to avoid traffic accidents through powerful algorithms. However, in recent years, autonomous vehicle has also heard a lot of traffic accidents. How to deal with a large number of legal problems caused by autonomous vehicle traffic accidents needs to be solved urgently. Based on this, this paper intends to discuss the difficulties in the application of tort law in autonomous vehicle traffic accidents. In view of the common problems in autonomous vehicle traffic accidents, such as difficulties in identifying the subject of tort liability, unfair distribution of burden of proof, and lack of legal remedies, combined with the current legal and social situation, it proposes that autonomous vehicle should be classified to determine the subject of tort liability, improve the distribution of burden of proof. We hope to promote the application of the tort law of autonomous vehicle in traffic accidents and create a good legal system for the steady development of autonomous driving technology in China by building fault identification standards and liability insurance system and other feasible methods.
