At present, a variety of Advanced Vehicle Control Systems (AVCS) is currently being developed aimed at assisting the driver in performing his/her driving task. These systems complement and even take over some of the drivers observations and judgements. Although optimism exist about the potential safety effects of these systems, they could also introduce some new safety issues. This paper is looking at the legal aspects of vehicle safety and the safety of Advanced Vehicle Control Systems. Mandatory vehicle safety standards and product liability are being discussed. It is concluded that both can play an important role in stimulating a safe design of vehicles or vehicle equipment. Based on legal literature and case law some remarks about product liability for AVCS are made.
