Humans are still on the hook behind the wheel — for now, anyway — and it’s still up to drivers to watch the road
What happens when a car with self-driving features, such as Tesla’s Autopilot, breaks a law or gets in a crash? If I’m driving, am I responsible? Could I still be charged? What happens with my insurance? Tesla owners I know argue their cars are basically self-driving, even though they have to intervene regularly when the system stops working. – Kim, Vancouver
You can’t buy an autonomous car in Canada. You can buy semi-autonomous cars – but they cannot drive themselves reliably and safely in all conditions. For the first three levels, a driver must be behind the wheel at all times. Right now, you can only buy cars in Canada with Level 1 or Level 2 self-driving capabilities – which require you to keep your eyes on the road and be ready to intervene.
Last week in the United States, Tesla shareholders sued Tesla and its chief executive officer Elon Musk for false and misleading statements about Autopilot and FSD, which are being investigated there for their roles in several fatal crashes.But when it comes to Level 3 systems, the car may be considered responsible in a crash.
