## Scope

Japan. Under the Road Traffic Act's provisions for specified automated operation, in force from 1 April 2023, the operator must designate a supervisor (特定自動運行主任者) from people meeting set requirements; after an accident the supervisor must notify the nearest fire service and send an on-site responder to the scene; and any crew on board must immediately aid the injured and prevent danger on the road. Accidents only; other incidents such as illness or a dispute on board are not covered.

## What this means

Even with no driver, Japanese law makes named people responsible for injured passengers after an accident.

## What it does not show yet

Accidents only, one country; it does not say the person must be on board.

## How to verify it yourself

Open the Road Traffic Act on e-Gov, go to Article 75-23, and find 「直ちに、負傷者を救護し」.
