When it comes to the legal aspects of autonomous vehicles, the issue of liability for damage caused by autonomous vehicles always comes to the fore. In our project, we focused on civil liability. With liability for damage, we use to ask who is liable for the damage and, more importantly, who will compensate it. The Czech Civil Code knows the strict liability of the vehicle operator. The operator does not automatically equal the driver. This concept seems to be the most suitable for autonomous vehicles. However, the operator should have a statutory recourse against the manufacturer, driver or provider of the physical or data infrastructure.
