This article deals with the error estimates for numerical approximations of the entropy solutions of coupled systems of nonlocal hyperbolic conservation laws. The systems can be strongly coupled through the nonlocal coefficient present in the convection term. A fairly general class of fluxes is being considered, where the local part of the flux can be discontinuous at infinitely many points, with possible accumulation points. The aims of the paper are threefold: 1. Establishing existence of entropy solutions with rough local flux for such systems, by deriving a uniform BV bound on the numerical approximations; 2. Deriving a general Kuznetsov-type lemma (and hence uniqueness) for such systems with both smooth and rough local fluxes; 3. Proving the convergence rate of the finite volume approximations to the entropy solutions of the system as 1/2 and 1/3, with homogeneous (in any dimension) and rough local parts (in one dimension), respectively. Numerical experiments are included to illustrate the convergence rates.
