While there is debate over when autonomous vehicles will become mainstream, they are street legal in some places in the U.S. now and are being tested in numerous states across the country. This program will examine the legal issues surrounding autonomous vehicles, including the types of data they collect and its use in litigation, liability for accidents involving autonomous vehicles, the applicability of different types of insurance for vehicles as they get closer to Level 5 autonomy, regulation of autonomous vehicles at the state and federal level, the role of autonomous vehicles in smart cities, and cybersecurity concerns related to autonomous vehicles.
