You’ve seen them on the Internet. Some have seen them on the roads. Autonomous vehicles are here, many more are on the way, and they are going to change the world we live in. Think about this – when a driverless car gets pulled over for speeding who gets the ticket? Or when a Tesla on auto pilot crashes killing the driver – is the car company liable?
Driverless cars are the wave of the future. How will this new technology affect your practice? Attorney Brett Schreiber provides a glimpse into the future of the auto industry, the potential liability of driverless cars and how these robot cars will affect your legal practice. Brett covers the following topics: the future of cars, the rise of automation, the macro level look of automated driving, the effects on the trucking industry, ride sharing companies, joint ventures in the auto & tech industry, the results of automation, getting access to car data, autonomous driving bills around the country, legal liability, the changes coming to personal injury practice, the Tesla accident, SB 1298 and defining the “operator” & “driver” of the vehicle.
Brett Schreiber’s practice includes mass torts, personal injury, medical malpractice and condemnation law. Brett is a young lawyer who has begun to distinguish himself as one of the next generation of legal leaders. In 2009 he earned recognition as one of San Diego’s Top Attorneys, perhaps the youngest person to do so. He is slated to be the youngest President in the history of the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego.
