In Europe there exists a European Committee on Crime Problems (CDPC). On 28 November 2018 it held a thematic session on artificial intelligence and criminal law responsibility. From the announcement:
The session will aim at the comparison and understanding of the different criminal legislations set out by the member States, and to highlighting and comparing the issues of automated driving at a domestic and international level. It will also try to give an answer to the following questions: What happens in case of an accident across the border? Who will be responsible if there is no driver? Why Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA), digital evidence as well as common supranational approach are needed in case of automated driving?
