What Is a Self-driving Automobile?
A self-driving vehicle, also known as an autonomous vehicle, uses a combination of sensors, cameras, and software to navigate and operate without human input. The level of autonomy can vary, with all vehicles still requiring a human driver to keep their hands on the wheel to control it.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has defined five levels of vehicle autonomy, ranging from Level 0 (no automation) to Level 5 (full automation).
We know that no two self-driving car accidents are the same, so our legal team takes the time to review each case individually. Any car accident attorney can take a self-driving car crash case, but that does not mean they should. You need a lawyer who has studied how autonomous cars work and understands the different types of harm they cause. Arguing in front of a judge or jury on the mechanics of self-driving cars and 18-wheelers requires specialized knowledge, and not all accident attorneys have the skills, resources, or experience to represent clients in these complex injury cases.

How Much Is a Self-Driving Car Accident Lawsuit Worth in Texas?
Self-driving and autonomous cars rely on complex technologies. After an accident occurs, determining fault for the crash requires a skilled self-driving car attorney. You need a lawyer who knows state and federal autonomous vehicle laws to evaluate a case and weigh the risks of taking a lawsuit to trial.
In addition, the level of autonomy of the vehicle involved in the accident could significantly change the value of your lawsuit. Fully autonomous vehicles involved in accidents may shift liability from the driver to the manufacturer, while semi-autonomous vehicles may share liability with both the driver and the car maker.
How much you may recover can vary depending on several factors. As with most motor vehicle accidents, injured people can receive compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and repairs to their vehicle. Discussing your case with a Texas self-driving vehicle accident lawyer will give you a better understanding of how much you can expect from your accident.
Who Takes the Blame in a Self-driving Car Accident?
Accidents involving self-driving cars make the news all the time. Accountability for auto accidents generally falls on human drivers, but that may change when an autonomous vehicle causes the accident. A skilled attorney can determine if the law will consider someone behind the wheel of a car in autonomous mode a driver or a passenger or if you can hold the car company responsible for an accident. Our knowledgeable attorneys know how to evaluate your case involving a car on Autopilot and get the maximum compensation you deserve.
Why Do Most Self-Driving Cars Crash?
Fully self-driving cars get into accidents because of:
- Failure of hardware or software to stop safely or detect when a driver can take over
- Drivers who fail to notice warnings to resume driving again
- Lack of focus and paying attention to the road
- Drivers who mistakenly think they are ready to take over driving but are not
- Failure to warn and inform drivers of the risks of operating an autonomous vehicle
- People who completely rely on Autopilot and using a hands-off approach
- Slow reaction times switching to manual driving due to physical limitations, medication, alcohol, or driving conditions
- Misuse of the vehicle’s Autopilot or self-driving capabilities
