On The Criminal Regulation Of Driverless Vehicle Traffic Accidents In The Artificial Intelligence Era

At the moment,a new round of technological revolution led by artificial intelligence technology has quietly arrived,and discussions on artificial intelligence topics have been endless around the world.As a leading and representative technology in the field of artificial intelligence,unmanned driving technology has naturally attracted the close attention of experts and scholars inside and outside the territory.These following eyes have both high expectations and worries.On the one hand,the emergence and application of unmanned vehicles is the most profound change in the history of modern transportation.It has unparalleled advantages over traditional vehicles in terms of improving travel efficiency and saving travel time;on the other hand,in view of unmanned driving Vehicles are different from traditional vehicles in operating modes and operating methods.The identity of the person in the driving position in unmanned vehicles is no longer a “vehicle driver” in the strict sense.This change undoubtedly affects the traditional legal regulations.The content related to the responsibility of the driver presents challenges.Since the birth of driverless technology,reports of traffic accidents involving driverless vehicles at home and abroad are not uncommon.In the face of criminal law,issues such as "whether driverless cars should be held criminally responsible for traffic accidents" and "which subject bears the specific criminal legal responsibility" have to be reconsidered.Faced with the new legal challenges brought by driverless technology in the artificial intelligence era,it is necessary to clarify the responsibilities and obligations of each subject,clarify the causal relationship among them,and improve the specific criminal laws and regulations of related crimes to respond.This is not just a boost.The development of the human-driven automobile industry and the acceleration of the implementation of unmanned driving technology are due to the criminal law’s important manifestation of the effective protection of citizens’ rights and interests.In this article,the author uses various research methods to analyze the criminal law dilemma caused by driverless car traffic accidents.The article mainly discusses the following five parts:The first part of the introduction mainly introduces the background and significance of the topic selection of this thesis,and compares domestic and foreign research,so as to further analyze the shortcomings of the current research in our country,and finally lists the main research methods and innovations of this article.The second part is an overview of unmanned vehicles,as the technical theoretical basis for subsequent legal analysis,and briefly describes the characteristics of unmanned driving technology,the classification standards and development status of unmanned vehicles.The third part makes a typological analysis of the causes of current driverless car traffic accidents,and uses criminal legal thinking to derive and summarize the possible crimes and the corresponding disposal results.The fourth part concretely analyzes the plight of driverless car accidents from the criminal subject,criminal subjective fault,and causality.The fifth part returns to the core theme of the thesis,in response to the above legislative dilemma,puts forward tentative suggestions to improve the criminal law,and explores the feasible path of criminal law in driverless car accidents.
