A navigation system includes a processing device programmed to receive, from an image capture device, at least one image of an environment of the host vehicle; determine, based on at least one driving policy, a navigational action for accomplishing a navigational goal of the host vehicle; analyze the at least one image to identify a target vehicle; test the navigational action against at least one accident liability rule for determining potential accident liability for the host vehicle relative to the target vehicle; if the test indicates that potential accident liability exists for the host vehicle if the navigational action is taken, then cause the host vehicle not to implement the navigational action; and if the test indicates that no accident liability would result for the host vehicle if the navigational action is taken, then cause the host vehicle to implement the navigational action.
