Changing Lanes - Autonomous-Vehicle Law and Policy at the Federal, State, and Local Levels

Event Description

Deadline to Register: March 10, 2019

This program is co-sponsored by the Tech Law Section and the Environmental, Natural Resources and Energy Law (ENRE) Section.

The Tech Law Section Council will meet at 11:30 am, followed by lunch and the CLE at noon.

Most of autonomous vehicles’ promised benefits (e.g., environmental gains, improved safety, affordability, improved mobility, reduced congestion, improved transit) depend on developments in federal, state, and local laws, policy, governance, and planning. And AVs’ ability to deliver these and other benefits can be significantly augmented by advances in other areas of transportation innovation (e.g., electric vehicles, car-sharing platforms, micro-mobility) that also implicate federal, state, and local laws and policies. This presentation will discuss how AVs, electric vehicles (EVs), car sharing, and other transportation advances can converge to support greener, safer, more connected, and more equitable land use patterns, street designs, mobility options, and other opportunities. It will also discuss how federal, state, and local laws and regulations (e.g., traffic codes, zoning, safety standards) can be structured to support those outcomes and configurations.
