You're driving through Dallas, navigating a tight intersection in Chicago, or easing into your lane on I-75 in Atlanta, when out of nowhere — bam — you're rear-ended.

You look in the mirror expecting to see a driver. But there’s no one there. You've just been hit by a self-driving car. 

Who’s responsible for this?

Is it the person inside the car? The company that made it?

And how do you even begin to prove what went wrong?

They’re the real questions we answer every day at Witherite Law Group. If you’ve been rear-ended by a self-driving or driver-assist vehicle, we know exactly what needs to happen next, and we’ve got the team ready to fight for you.

How Witherite Law Group Can Help You After a Self-Driving Car Wreck

These vehicles are being pushed out onto the streets faster than the safety systems can keep up. They're marketed as safe, intelligent, and capable. But that’s far from the full truth.

The reality? People are getting hurt. Pedestrians. Drivers. Passengers.

And when you're rear-ended by a self-driving car, you're not just dealing with one bad driver — you’re up against an entire ecosystem of tech companies, automakers, and insurers trying to protect their bottom line.

Real-World Proof: Zoox Crash Shows These Systems Are Still Not Ready

In April 2025, Zoox, Amazon’s self-driving robotaxi unit, had to recall its entire fleet after one of its autonomous vehicles caused a crash in Las Vegas. The vehicle wasn’t even carrying passengers at the time, but the software couldn’t handle another car merging ahead of it, and it made a critical error.

Here’s what’s worse: The Zoox system couldn’t safely operate above 40 miles per hour. That’s it. Forty. Anything higher, and the software started to fall apart.

Now ask yourself — how often do you drive below 40 mph on the highway? That’s not just a minor glitch. That’s a fundamental failure and proof that many of these vehicles aren’t safe in real-world conditions. Yet they’re still out there, testing on public roads, putting you and your family at risk.

Common Injuries from Rear-End Self-Driving Car Wrecks

Rear-end crashes cause damage, period. Whether it's a driver or a machine behind the wheel, the force of impact can cause:

  • Herniated discs
  • Concussions
  • Joint and soft tissue injuries
  • Long-term nerve damage

Even worse? The pain doesn’t always show up right away. And insurance companies will use that delay to claim you’re not really hurt.
