Abstract
The commentary is restricted to the question of criminal liability of the autonomous unmanned vehicle. The autonomous unmanned vehicles are based on artificial intelligence technology, and they function as artificial intelligence entities. If these entities may result legal problems of tort law, they are capable of resulting criminal offenses. The ultimate legal question is, therefore, who is to be held responsible for offenses committed by unmanned vehicles based on artificial intelligence technology. The modern concept of criminal liability suggests criminal liability models, which are relevant to artificial intelligence entities. This commentary argues that these criminal liability models are relevant and available to unmanned vehicles based on artificial intelligence technology.
