《电子商务法》中网约车平台侵权责任的法律适用

The Legal Application of the Tort Liability of Online Car-Hailing Platforms in the “E-Commerce Law”

在“专车模式”的网络预约出租车服务中,网约车平台与网约车驾驶员是劳务关系,网约车平台承担用人者责任。而在“社会车辆模式”中,网约车平台与网约车司机之间不是传统的中介关系、劳务关系、承运关系,而是新型的“合作关系”,网约车平台本质上提供的是电子商务服务。根据《中华人民共和国电子商务法》第三十八条第二款的规定,网约车平台应当在网约车事故责任中承担“相应的责任”。具体来说,在“快车模式”的网约车交通事故中,应当将“相应的责任”解释为按份责任;在顺风车模式中应当将“相应的责任”解释为补充责任。

In the network booking taxi service of “private car mode”, the network booking platform and the network booking driver are labor relations, and the network booking platform bears the responsibility of the employer. In the “social vehicle model”, the online car-hailing platform and the online car-hailing driver are not the traditional intermediary relationship, labor relationship, and carrier relationship, but a new type of “cooperative relationship”, and the online car-hailing platform essentially provides e-commerce services. According to the provisions of the second paragraph of Article 38 of the E-commerce Law of the People’s Republic of China, online car-hailing platforms shall bear “corresponding responsibilities” in the responsibility of online car-hailing accidents. Specifically, in the “express mode” of the network car traffic accident, the “corresponding responsibility” should be interpreted as the responsibility by share;in the hitch model, “corresponding liability” should be interpreted as supplementary liability.
