Who’s going to drive you home – legal issues surrounding driverless cars

Bristows LLP

It is anticipated that advanced driver-assistance technology will be commonplace by 2020 and that truly autonomous vehicles will be seen on our roads by 2025. In recent months more and more companies have announced plans to bring driverless cars to UK roads sooner rather than later – but is the law ready?
In this webinar, Bristows’ experts will examine the legal issues arising in relation to driverless cars and discuss whether the existing relevant legal frameworks are fit for purpose. In particular, they will provide insight into issues relating to cyber, data and artificial Intelligence (AI). They will also consider the existing product liability framework and discuss the potential pitfalls and issues with the existing regime. They will further consider the new insurance position for these vehicles as set out in the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 and what this means for the insurance industry. Finally, there will be a discussion of the key issues arising from the joint consultation paper on automated vehicles which was recently published by the English and Scottish law commissions. At the end of the presentation, they will be available to answer your questions.
This talk is aimed at in-house counsel in the automotive and AI industries and insurers, particularly those working in both automotive or products insurance.

It is not uncommon for the legal team to discover the existence of a software audit or license verification after the company has received a demand for damages arising from alleged over-usage of software. Often, employees responding to an audit request do not understand the request and provide inaccurate or incomplete information. Once this information is disclosed, it can expose the business to a damages cla

  What's The Difference Between Compliance And Ethics? Bruce Weinstein, Ph.D. Contributor Customized ethics keynotes, training, and online courses for CE credit May 9, 2019, 01:19pm EDT  TWEET THIS High-character leaders ask, "What is required of me?" but they don't leave it at that. Ethical leaders also ask, "What is the right thing to do? How would an honorable person behave in this situation?" I've noticed some confusion about the roles that ethics and compliance play in organizations. This confusion arises, in part, from the way these two fields are identified. Some companies have only a compliance department. Others have a compliance  and  ethics (or ethics and compliance) department. Some companies have a Chief Ethics Officer separate from compliance. To get some clarity on these crucial roles, I asked seven leaders who are involved in both ethics and compliance to explain the similarities and differences as they saw them. I'll present their vi
