Consultant Services
The autonomous vehicle landscape is a rapidly changing kaleidoscope of interwoven issues related to technologies, systems, vehicle insurance companies, and lawyers. This landscape could change considerably in just a few months. To help your organization navigate the aforementioned issues, I offer the following research and writing services:
- Support trucking to navigate autonomous vehicle safety issues with Congress, their staffers, and the public. This support could be in the form of strategic plan inputs, white papers, brochures, proposals, and newspaper editorials
- Assist automobile insurance companies define and quantify autonomous vehicle risk factors, such as determining accident predictor variables for different autonomous vehicle technologies; ascertain the effect of mandatory rating factors; assess the SAE vehicle automation levels on insurance costs, among others.
- Work with lawyers to determine autonomous vehicle product liability/litigation, allocation of fault between vehicle and driver, as well negligence liability. These topics would vary across the spectrum of autonomous vehicle systems and technologies.
