Driving without a Driver

Driverless vehicles have received much public attention in recent years and made their way to the forefront of mobility research.

The proceedings presented here examine the various legal approaches, based on differing assumptions about the technical possibilities as well as on diverging ethical and socio-economic conditions.Eric Hilgendorf: Autonomous Driving and the Law in Germany – Martin Ebers/Mats Volberg/Rauno Kinkar: Autonomous Driving.
