Technological evolution has influenced the economic development of countries; but it also poses a series of new challenges of various kinds, including the need to legislate on the manufacture of autonomous machines or equipment, their use and the liability derived from such use. This article describes the regulatory situation in Panama and in some countries of the world, and raises the growing need to provide the administrators of justice with clear legal criteria and tools that serve to decide specialized matters such as the attribution factor for the compensation of damages caused by this type of goods, the exclusion of the behavioral or agent factor and that relating to fault or negligence, with a view to a fair, prompt and adequate reparation of the damage.
