Dik Vos, CEO at SQS:
However, incidents such as this also serve as a stark reminder for quality assurance to be implemented throughout the product development, starting at the point of concept, right through to the vehicle leaving the production line. Not only must insurers have policies in place to cover liability grey areas when it comes to driverless vehicles, but manufacturers must also take responsibility for safety and ensure critical software systems are performing as they should in order to retain consumer trust. Failure to do could see driverless vehicle consigned to the scrapheap of automotive history.”
