description With the advancement of autonomous vehicles and their integration into urbanized areas, new challenges emerge related to safety and risk management. This paper presents an approach to assessing the risks of using autonomous cars in urban environments based on game theory. The analysis focuses on interactions between autonomous and traditional vehicles, as well as other road participants, such as pedestrians and cyclists. By employing game theory models, potential conflicts, risk scenarios, and their impact on traffic safety and efficiency are identified. The proposed methods provide a foundation for developing risk management strategies that contribute to the safe and sustainable integration of autonomous vehicles in urban areas.
