Determining Fault in Robot Accidents
As robots become more commonly present on roadways, especially in a capacity like this, it can be confusing for all involved to determine who is at fault. The footage of this accident seems to indicate the robot was in the crosswalk at the time of the crash, but it is not clear if it had the right of way. The driver of the vehicle struck the robot and seemed to continue on its way. Some drivers may not know if they need to stop or what legal steps to take after such an incident.
