Self-driving cars require little to no manual guidance from a driver because they have been designed and constructed to use cutting-edge technology to handle the maneuvering and operation of the vehicle. In recent years, more and more auto manufacturers like Tesla have dipped their toes into autonomous vehicle construction, but it’s not as popular as it seems.
In fact, according to recent statistics, 93 percent of Americans have concerns about self-driving vehicles, so it’s unsurprising that about 51 percent are unlikely to use or own one within the next five years. In addition, it has been proven that self-driving cars are still involved in crashes that result in injuries and property damages.
However, despite the majority not being interested in self-driving vehicles, this doesn’t mean that they aren’t being used and that they won’t be involved in crashes. If you’ve recently found yourself involved in an accident with a self-driving vehicle, our Boise, Idaho, car accident attorneys at Andrew Injury Law are ready and waiting to help.
Self-driving vehicles might be the wave of the future in the auto industry, but many kinks need to be worked out before they become a mass-produced commodity. For instance, self-driving cars must be made safer since they are significantly more dangerous than non-self-driving vehicles.
Reports indicate that autonomous vehicles are involved in a staggering 9.1 accidents per million miles driven. In comparison, non-self-driving cars have a crash rate of about 4.1 per million miles driven. This statistic indicates that self-driving vehicles have a long way to go before becoming a safer alternative despite their technological advances.
In addition, according to The Associated Press, it was uncovered that eleven people lost their lives in a self-driving car crash in 2022 alone. It is believed that ten of the fatalities involved a Tesla autonomous vehicle, and the eleventh involved a Ford pickup truck.
Evidently, self-driving vehicles are hazardous not only in terms of injuries but also in terms of fatalities. As such, it is possible to file lawsuits against manufacturers, developers, and other third parties involved in making and producing the car.
According to statistics, 90 percent of self-driving car accidents happen because of human error. Unfortunately, even though drivers are not operating self-driving vehicles, human error still plays a significant role in these cars’ safety. In light of the recent recorded injuries and deaths involving autonomous cars, many manufacturers have pulled their self-drive vehicles and cited further research and development.
