Automated vehicle law is a growing and rapidly changing area of law. Currently the industry has limited current commercial activity, but many people expect the industry to grow and be vibrant. It will be one of the legal community’s first significant encounters with artificial intelligence and its effects on existing doctrines. As the automated vehicle industry shifts from research and development to commercialization, attorneys will have a significant role in shaping policy, design, and deployment; suing or defending crashes of automated vehicles; protecting privacy rights and data collection; and prosecuting or defending persons who use these vehicles. This book is framed around five areas of automated vehicle law: Background on automated vehicles; the regulation of automated vehicles; civil liability for automated vehicle crashes; data security and privacy; and criminal law. This book is a reference guide for automated vehicle law and will provide you with legal authority and context to apply the law to the new factual situations created by automated vehicles.
