Abstract / Description of output

The complexities involved in adapting current traffic regulations to accommodate autonomous vehicles (AVs) arise from the intricate legal rules and the changes in the traditional roles of drivers and legal responsibility. We argue that revising the law during the legal reform process can be seen as an effort to rectify the legal reasoning that is no longer suitable for the new circumstance. In this paper, we propose to apply an automatic theory repair system, called ABC, to assist legal professionals in making changes to legal rules more efficiently.
