Deja Bù: Mark reconnects with Jessica Harnois, founder Bù Wines | SaltWireLONDON - Britain will place legal liability for self-driving cars that crash with the company that makes it rather than the user, as part of a framework for the development of the autonomous vehicle industry, the government said on Tuesday.

"My Ministers will introduce new legal frameworks to support the safe commercial development of emerging industries, such as self-driving vehicles," Charles said in a speech to lawmakers. "The Bill gives people immunity from prosecution when a self-driving vehicle is driving itself, given it does not make sense to then hold the person sat behind the wheel responsible."

The bill will establish new processes to investigate incidents and improve the safety framework, and will also set the threshold for what is classified as a self-driving car.
