Automated vehicle (AV) technology has sometimes been touted as the solution to eliminating crashes, more than 90 percent of which are due to human errors, but such claims are not supported by any empirical data or scientific evidence. Still, experts do believe that overall frequency and severity of crashes could be reduced by implementing more AV technologies, while acknowledging the intricacies and nuances that are involved in this process. This project explores possible policy questions under crash scenarios involving AVs, addresses AV crash issues that may affect current Texas law, and offers related considerations for policy makers.
