<![CDATA[The development of technology in the transportation sector, particularly the use of self-driving technology by online taxi, raises new legal issues regarding which party can be held responsible for traffic accidents involving self-driving taxi. However, an act can only be held responsible if it has completed the elements of the crime as determined by law. UU LLAJ as the foundational regulation in the transportation sector has not yet accommodated the status of self-driving taxi. This creates legal uncertainty in the event of traffic accidents involving self-driving vehicles. The purpose of this study is to determine corporations as legal subjects that can be held criminally responsible under the National Penal Code and to analyze the forms of corporate criminal liability for accidents caused by self-driving taxi. The research method used is normative juridical, with approaches including statute approaches, conceptual approaches, case studies, and comparative approaches. The results of the study indicate that a company that manufactures self-driving taxi and/or an online taxi service company that is proven negligent to the point of causing a traffic accident can be held criminally liable because its status as a legal entity is recognized by the National Penal Code and can apply the principle of vicarious liability. Furthermore, the forms of accountability that can be imposed on the corporation include primary criminal penalties and additional penalties. Nevertheless, updates to the UU LLAJ still be carried out to accommodate the development of self-driving vehicle technology.]]>
