Strict products liability, algorithmic harm allocation (trolley problems), and curtilage airspace trespass for autonomous vehicles, physical humanoids, and delivery drones.
Kinematic law addresses the transition of autonomous decision-making into the physical world. For self-driving vehicles, delivery drones, and collaborative humanoid robots, legal liability shifts from human driver negligence to manufacturer strict products liability, algorithmic design defect claims, and private curtilage airspace trespass under the landmark Causby doctrine.
Strict products liability doctrines governing autonomous driving algorithms (FSD/Waymo) that execute split-second harm-allocation trade-offs in unavoidable crash geometries.
The federal/state jurisdictional boundary between FAA navigable airspace and private landowner low-altitude property column rights for autonomous drone delivery corridors.
NHTSA safety recalls and FAA Part 107 / Part 108 beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) rulemaking are defining the operational and liability parameters for commercial aerial and ground robotics.
