Women were super well represented at this year’s Autonomous Vehicles Symposium, especially on main stage. Federal Highway Administrator Nicole Nason, Univ. of Leeds Dr. Natasha Merat, Lyft Product Manager Jody Kelman & FMCSA Assoc. Administrator Dr. Kelly Regal. #AVS19 #avs2019

For a conference focussed on making consumers comfortably bored, AVS 2019 was anything but. Thanks for another great one! Nice having you in the East this year. Onward and upward. Safe travels home all. #AVS19, #avs2019

Bailiff, Please hand the jurors their notepads, pens and VR headsets. ... Lidar has an obvious utilitarian role in autonomous vehicle development but also is a great new tool for lawyers to tell the story visually. #AVS18

Secretary Chao spoke and announced today’s release of Department of Transportation’s report on Autonomous Vehicles at dot.gov/AV. She said consensus is that current legal framework can adapt sufficiently to handle AV cases. #AVS18

Dr. Thomas Dingus, Va. Tech: “The car that leaves factory today won’t be same car six months from now.” Simple statement that ties to so many topics discussed and debated at Symposium. #AVS18

Open-minded, but Alternative Dispute Resolution framework for autonomous car lawsuits seems tough sell for traditional accidents where victims outside autonomous cars are not “consumers” and have not bought into anything. Love to read more on it. #avs18

Data retention. Long curious about topic raised in one of today’s Symposium panels. How feasible is it to maintain & store large amounts of data from lidar, radar & camera systems for benefit of post-crash investigation. Need laws for reasonable retention periods. #AVS18

In addition to points in this NY Times article, hoping as the autonomous car industry evolves that domestic abusers do not find ways to use personal login data to alter rideshare routes and put unsuspecting victims in harm’s way. teapawt.net/thehuntinground/status…

Here in San Francisco ready to provide a few live posts from the Autonomous Vehicle Symposium starting tomorrow. Legal perspective. #AVS18
