Abstract

The development of electric cars is accelerating, supported by environmentally friendly technology regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Electric cars also integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, giving rise to autonomous driving systems. The implementation of autonomous driving systems is expected to reduce the rate of accidents caused by human error. However, the adoption of electric cars with autonomous systems presents new challenges, particularly related to the risk of accidents. These accidents raise questions about who is responsible for such incidents whether it is the manufacturer, the AI developer, or the vehicle owner. The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing legal regulations regarding liability for autonomous driving systems in electric cars. The research method used is normative juridical. The findings indicate that Indonesia currently lacks specific regulations governing the feasibility testing and use of electric cars with autonomous driving systems. This regulatory gap makes it difficult to determine who should be held accountable in the event of an accident. This research has significant implications for legal reform, policy development, and automotive technology innovation. These findings can serve as a foundation for creating better and more adaptive regulations in the future.
