| 摘要： | In contrast to the modern technical wizardry of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems (IVHS), sovereign immunity is a doctrine of common law which literally dates from the days when kings ruled. The sovereign, formerly the king or queen, is now in this country the federal, state and local government. The doctrine generally holds that the sovereign may not be sued or that the sovereign may not be held liable if it is sued. The sovereign immunity of these state and local governments for torts is an important issue for their advancement of IVHS. Highways and motor vehicles are one of the major sources of injuries to people in this country and give rise to overwhelming numbers of lawsuits. This paper analyzes the general rules of sovereign immunity and gives examples of varying approaches in different states, where that is applicable. |
