Toyota invests $500 million in Uber, will partner to deliver self-driving cars by 2021
The number of large companies investing in Uber’s self-driving car systems has increased since it first launched in 2016. And with so many competitors working on their own self-driving car systems, it seems to be a race on who will dominate the streets.
As nice as it will be to no longer make small talk with Uber your driver, this does bring up some concerns. What will happen if these driverless cars crash into you while driving? Or while you’re taking a walk or riding a bicycle? The answer is less complicated then you would expect. You would sue like normal, but instead of the driver, it will be directly to Uber or the responsible company. This is similar to what would happen if you were in an accident with an Uber being driven by a human driver, just without the middleman involved.
Here at Lolo Legal, we are ready to help you now or even in the future when cars are driving themselves. Feel free to call us if you have any questions.
