Are self-driving vehicles safe in 2023?

Self-driving vehicles are the way of the future, but the question is how safe is the technology today?

Self-driving technology is still in its early stages today, and there are many questions surrounding exactly how safe these vehicles are operating on roadways. A majority of self-driving vehicles are manufactured by Tesla.

Self-driving vehicles are not perfect

It's not as if self-driving vehicles will be able to avoid all accidents. Additionally, the software that allows these self-driving vehicles to operate without human interaction often get confused or have glitches that make the vehicle perform an unsafe maneuver. When these glitches happen, the driver rarely has time to correct the vehicle before a collision occurs. The wild unpredictability of these systems is the primary reason why a self-driving vehicle can be incredibly dangerous.

While the prospect of self-driving vehicles is exciting, automakers need to continue to test self-driving vehicle technologies to ensure safety. Thousands of accidents occur every year as a result of self-driving technology causing a vehicle to drive unsafely. If you have been injured by a self-driving vehicle, you may have claims against both the driver of the self-driving vehicle and the manufacturer of that vehicle. Contact Ryan Pigg immediately if you have been involved in this type of crash.
