Are tort cases effective in actually improving products offered to society The answer is unclear as the study concluded that in general data do not exist to show how liability affects the degree of care that potential injurers take and further that theoretical analysis alone cannot answer the key questions. Legal Issues in Europe 5 The potential for lawsuits creates challenges in Europe as well. For instance the manufacturer must take care that the product complies with the current technology state-of-the-art at the time of marketing. Also customer expectations generated by the company through advertising and other means play an important role. If the actual product functionality deviates substantially from the customer expectation the risk of product liability claims is heightened even if the product is not defective. Existing laws in Germany were examined within RESPONSE 2 to provide an indication of the European legal climate. Germany has road traffic regulations that address factors such as speed intervehicle distance and overtaking maneuvers. If an ACC system allows for intervehicle gaps less than that specified in the law the system could be deemed to contravene the law. Specific product design becomes key here if the ACC when enabled defaults to a gap that is within legal bounds and smaller gaps are only enabled by the driver then the driver not the product is responsible. Another key principle in German law is that the driver always keeps control over their vehicle. This factor comes into play if nonoverridable systems are introduced and may even apply if the driver can in theory react but in reality the system reaction time is so rapid that it is beyond human abilities to intervene. A third factor is the legal requirement that the driver is attentive to the driving situation and
