Professor Chen pointed out that whether it is German or Taiwanese academic circles, the criminal law issues regarding self-driving cars are mainly focused on fully self-driving cars; but from a pragmatic point of view, semi-self-driving cars (Level 2, SAE J 3016) have entered people’s lives and have More beneficial for discussion. Moreover, in this regard, Professor Chen's opinion is that the most fundamental key to the current self-driving problem is not the criminal law, but the traffic administrative regulations; and for semi-self-driving drivers, it is not easy to determine the criminal liability for traffic, and it should be necessary to proceed. The reform of the relevant provisions of the traffic criminal law can achieve the purpose of traffic safety risk management and prevention of traffic accidents; as for the criminal liability judgment of semi-self-driving vehicle suppliers, the thinking of "product criminal law" should be introduced, and reforms should be initiated from the legislation.
