Deadline to Register
Online: January 8, 2017
Self-driving vehicles are coming — and in some respects,
they're already here. Our roads already have vehicles with automated-driving
technologies, and this fall, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
released guidelines that seek to further accelerate the technology's adoption
and deployment. As such, lawyers, judges, lawmakers, and policymakers must
decide how they will react to this seismic societal shift: laissez faire,
allowing development through common law, or proactively shaped through
regulation or legislation?
This CLE will discuss many of the
most-pressing aspects of automated driving:
• Automated driving's
current and proposed state and federal laws and regulations
• Potential
effects on liability, including factors that will affect insurers,
personal-injury attorneys, and product-liability
litigators.
• Discussions about algorithmic driving decisions' effect on
injuries, deaths, and liability
• Criminal implications when legal code
can be enforced through computer code
• Privacy implications when
manufacturers collect driving data and log trip routes. Can governments access
them? Can advertisers use them to re-direct routes?
• Ethical
implications when algorithms might determine who survives a crash, and who
doesn't. How should those decisions be made?
Damien Riehl will analyze
these topics and more, as we discuss the legal implications of what the NHTSA
says may be "the greatest personal transportation revolution since the
popularization of the personal automobile nearly a century
ago."
The Computer and Technology Section Council will
meet at 11:30 a.m. followed by lunch and the CLE at noon.
Presenter:
Damien Riehl is a technology lawyer with a background in
legal software design and development. After clerking for the chief judges of
the Minnesota Court of Appeals and U.S. District Court in Minnesota, he
litigated for a decade with Robins Kaplan. He practices in data privacy
(CIPP/US), copyright, trademarks, business torts, breaches of contract,
antitrust, financial litigation, and
appeals.
