Abstract

Different manufacturers around the world continue to work on developing automated vehicles. Fully automated vehicles that require no driver-intervention are expected to be introduced to the market in the near future. Adoption of automated vehicles will have many positive outcomes, especially in reducing traffic accidents, but they will also bring with them unique problems. Today, there is no specific regulation regarding legal liabilities arising from accidents caused by automated vehicles in Turkey. The extent to which the Highway Traffic Law numbered 2918, which regulates the legal liability arising from accidents caused by motor vehicles, can be applied to automated vehicles, as well as the consequences of such an application, are questionable. The application of this Law for automated vehicles can fall short in various areas including determining the role of the driver in automated driving, the distribution of fault and liability, the relationship between the driver and the automated system and its effect on the accident and legal liability. Therefore, it will be beneficial to establish a legal responsibility regime specific to automated vehicles, based on strict liability, that will not constitute an obstacle to the development and launch of automated vehicles or cause unjust consequences for the injured.

Özet

Dünya çapında birçok farklı üretici, otonom araç geliştirme konusundaki çalışmalarına hızla devam etmektedir. Yakın bir zaman içerisinde sürücü müdahalesine ihtiyaç duymayan tam otonom araçların da piyasaya sunulması planlanmaktadır. Otonom araçların yaygınlaşmasının, trafik kazalarını azaltmak başta olmak üzere pek çok olumlu etkisinin olacağı değerlendirilmekte ancak kendisine özgü bazı sorunları da beraberinde getireceği düşünülmektedir. Bugün için Türkiye’de otonom araçların sebep olacağı kazalardan doğan hukuki sorumluluğa ilişkin özel bir düzenleme bulunmamaktadır. Motorlu araçların sebep olduğu kazalardan doğan hukuki sorumluluğu düzenleyen 2918 sayılı Karayolları Trafik Kanunu’nda yer alan düzenlemelerin otonom araçlar için ne derece uygulanabilir olacağı ve nasıl sonuçlar doğuracağı tartışmaya açıktır. Otonom araçlar kapsamında bu kanunun uygulanması, otonom sürüşlerde sürücünün rolü, kusurun ve sorumluluğun paylaştırılması, sürücü ile otonom sistem arasındaki ilişkinin kazaya ve hukuki sorumluluğa etkisi gibi hususların belirlenmesinde yetersiz kalabilecektir. Bu nedenle, otonom araçların geliştirilmesi ve piyasaya sürülmesinin önünde engel oluşturmayacak, ancak zarar gören kişilerin mağduriyetine de sebep olmayacak, otonom araçlara özgü kusursuz sorumluluğu temel alan bir hukuki sorumluluk rejiminin belirlenmesi yararlı olacaktır.
