1. A method comprising:
determining, by a computing device, an expected behavior of an autonomous system in a vehicle;
determining, by the computing device and via machine learning, an expected behavior of a human driver of the vehicle;
determining, an observed behavior of the autonomous system during an accident;
determining whether the autonomous system failed to perform the expected behavior of the autonomous system based on the expected behavior of the autonomous system and the observed behavior of the autonomous system; and
determining a fault proportion between the human driver of the vehicle and the autonomous system based on the determination of whether the autonomous system failed to perform the expected behavior of the autonomous system.
