Blockchain-based Liability Framework for Autonomous Vehicles
Driverless cars will be a part of life in the very near future, but if we’re in accident, how do we decide who’s liable while maintaining our privacy? (Image credit: Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Our article titled: “Who’s to blame when driverless cars have an accident?” has just been published on The Conversation.
The article discusses how to determine who’s liable in autonomous vehicle accidents based on sensor data from these vehicles. It highlights our recently proposed framework for using blockchain to enable trust in the sensor data from these vehicles and to track interactions with them before and after an accident happens.
This work is part of our Blockchain for IoT Security and Privacy project.
