New technology raises new legal questions<\/h2>\n

More than 1,400 autonomous vehicles<\/a> from more than 80 companies are being tested on US roads. As they continue to make headlines, their presence raises a few questions about how they might change society.<\/p>\n

These hypotheticals range from serious to ridiculous\u2013somewhere in the middle lies this question: If you were leasing a self-driving car and fell behind on payments, could it repossess itself? The repo process would certainly be easier if lenders could simply summon vehicles.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the kind of thing that happens today, of course, but that could change. Electric trucks once seemed unlikely, and now multiple manufacturers offer electric pickups<\/a>, from Ford to Tesla<\/a>. As self-driving car technology advances and society adapts, autonomous repossession could be possible.<\/p>\n
