Abstract
Autonomous vehicles trigger lots of legal problems. Whether this challenge, however, adds up to a paradigm shift in legal thinking is to be analysed further. As robotics develop globally, the legal institutions need to keep pace with it, because business risk, such as liability, has to be reasonably calculable for investors. Due to the expansive applicability of robotics, the relevant legal questions are manifold. The law faces applicatory as well as regulatory challenges. What is the standard for an autonomous vehicle? What should be the safety standards in driverless cars? How many bugs are to be acceptable in a software in case of a car crash? Who should be liable for an autonomous vehicle when it follows the rule and when it does not? How to tame the regulation by design to be more like a rule of law? This paper focuses on pragmatic problems and solutions and new regulatory models, like regulation by communication. It also introduces the concept of stealthy technologies, the meaning of which is that no matter what the rule is innovative technologies are going to be overwhelmingly widespread.
