CodeX | Autonomous Vehicles, Predictability, and Law

On October 21, 2015, CodeX: The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics welcomed Harry Surden, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Colorado, to campus for a discussion on Autonomous Vehicles, Predictability, and Law.

Surden discussed how predictable the movements of autonomous vehicles will be to the ordinary people – the pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists — who encounter them on roads, at intersections, and in crosswalks – and to what extent should the law be involved in fostering design to make them more predictable?
