Vehicle technology is constantly evolving. The self-driving industry is booming, with researchers and auto manufacturers looking for ways to make autonomous vehicles part of everyday life. Many see benefits to features like autopilot and other degrees of automation, including reduced accidents and environmental improvements. However, the technology is not quite at that point just yet.
While safety measures have improved, there are risks associated with different levels of autonomous technology. Drivers are expected to pay attention and be prepared to intervene, yet carelessness and misconceptions about the technology’s capabilities can combine to create a deadly formula.
If you have been involved in an accident with a driver using autopilot, it can be challenging to work with an insurance company to file a claim and to seek to hold all at-fault parties accountable. A Florida car accident lawyer from Hoskins, Turco, Lloyd & Lloyd can explain your options for filing an injury claim against all potentially liable parties. A successful claim has the potential to result in compensation for all of your accident-related losses.
