APPLICATION OF AI 3

THE FUTURE OF DRIVERLESS VEHICLES? 4

DRIVERLESS VEHICLES MUST COMMUNICATE Outgoing Information: • Car Info (who is in it, where is it, where is it going) • Car Data (mechanical problems, fuel level, flat tire) Incoming Information: • Road Conditions (accidents, closures, weather) • Other Cars (where they are, where they’re going, speed) • Immediate Surroundings (where they are, where they are going, speed) • Software Updates (Tesla) 5

NETWORKING in Driverless Vehicles End point devices • Wireless tracking • Networking and Info • Processing Security Products • 6

NETWORKING extends beyond the individual vehicle App Mgmt. DC Using big data Connected Roadways are here! Intersection Police cars & Firetruck WiFi 8

NOT FEASIBLE OR DESIREABLE TO HAVE LIABILITY STATUTES Statutes Premature Statutes Quickly Obsolete Liability For Delay 16

PRODUCT + SERVICE LIABILITY • Liability of producers of equipment used in the stream of commerce • Modifications of equipment • Comparison of service liability vs. product liability 17

STREAM OF COMMERCE Component Supplier • Did they disclaim their products? Car Manufacturer • Is the scope of use beyond intended purpose? • Is liability limited to product performing in limited capacity? Customer 18

STREAM OF COMMERCE Customer Component and Car Manufacturer/ Service Supplier Car Services Increased services pushes risk upstream to service provider 19

DATA PRIVACY What is considered personally identifiable info in a driverless vehicle? • • Look at local laws • Location only, or tagged to an individual? • How can personal data be used? Is it shared with others? Is it aggregated in some instances and not in others? • • Can an individual opt out without impacting the functionality of the driverless vehicle? 20

DATA SECURITY • Potential risks with a breach of data in driverless vehicles • Stealing of personal data • Control of vehicles • Where does liability lie in the event of a data breach? 21
