The world is witnessing the growth of driverless cars, which is perhaps one of the greatest innovations that are currently happening. Many legal changes need to be put in place to ensure the safety and stability of this new era.

Some of these changes include:

- laws for what autonomous vehicle manufacturers need to do in case their driverless cars are involved in an accident;

- standards for liability;

- standards for what car companies can or cannot do with data collected by autonomous vehicles;

- standards on how autonomous vehicles should interact with each other;

- laws about insurance, registration, and inspection.

The future is going to be filled with autonomous cars. Need for legislation and regulations will be necessary to keep up with the changing times. There needs to be legislation on how vehicles communicate with each other and how they can protect themselves from hacking. Vehicles should be able to detect pedestrians and also detect if they are in the wrong lane or trying to cross a road.
