Self-driving vehicles and Israeli public consultation
I happened to come across a document, issued by the Department of Justice of the State of Israel, which opens a public consultation, regarding the regulation of self-driving vehicles. Dated February 8, it bears the title, translated of course, of "Towards the Regulation of the Use of Self-Driving Vehicles -- an Application for a Public Position in the Field of Liability and Insurance." The incipit of the paper is a valid invitation to continue reading: "Technological innovation is commonly seen as including one or more of the following components: autonomous, electric, connectivity, and cooperative, when each of these components is based on a large number of technologies with different characteristics. Perceptual change is commonly described as a transition from "transportation as a product" to "transportation as a service." As part of this concept, the transportation system is not a total of privately owned vehicles, but a collection of tools designed to provide transportation services (of human passengers or any other goods) from point A to point B in the most efficient way. From this, the existing relationship between the vehicle owner and the vehicle driver comes to be dismantled. Thus, in contrast to the current de facto situation, where there is often an identity between the vehicle owner and the driver, a separation will be created between the vehicle owner and the vehicle users."
