LIABILITY FOR ASDS Sample Clauses

LIABILITY FOR ASDS. ‌ The issue of liability may significantly hamper the introduction of aftermarket 5.9 GHz V2V / V2I safety devices into the communications based cooperative crash avoidance safety system. Most aftermarket consumer electronics suppliers (especially software developers and ‘shrink wrap’ component manufacturers) do not normally work with long lead time, safety-focused systems. Many of the candidate ASD suppliers interviewed are new to the automotive safety arena and lack expertise in automotive safety system design, development, testing, installation, certification, launch and maintenance. The complexity of combining many components (software, antenna, radio, HMI, etc.) into an effective vehicle level safety system and validating its performance across the wide variety of potential customer vehicles appears to exceed the resources and business models of typical consumer electronics manufacturers. Compared to typical consumer electronics devices, ASDs will have increased consumer expectations and risk of litigation because of: - Safety Implications – Items identified as providing a ‘safety’ function carry with them the expectation that they will provide a safety benefit to the consumer. Consistent with that is the expectation that the product has been thoroughly evaluated and has demonstrated a certain level of reliability, effectiveness, and consumer acceptance. If the product does not meet these expectations, there is the risk of liability not only to the ASD manufacturers but also to automotive OEMs. - Regulatory Implications – Systems that are regulated carry the necessary burdens of compliance testing and assurance (e.g., margin of compliance) and certification, as well as the chance of governmental compliance checks, enforcement and the consequences of non-compliance. Regulatory authority over ASDs remains to be established. - Complexity – There are numerous potential incomplete interactions, interferences, and compatibility issues with various ASDs and vehicle manufacturers, and potential inappropriate driver responses. If a crash occurs, it is likely to be extremely difficult to determine what went wrong. Some of the factors involved are the message accuracy, proper message prioritization, and appropriate driver response.
