Tesla Motors was&amp;nbsp;just hit&amp;nbsp;with a class action lawsuit alleging that its autopilot technology puts drivers in danger when engaged. And in March, the California Department of Motor Vehicles released&amp;nbsp;proposed regulations&amp;nbsp;for fully autonomous vehicles—the kind that wouldn’t have a driver at all. It was a move that left a lot of people thinking that the future of transportation is getting here a lot faster than we thought. But with all this advanced technology, is the law ready to deal with who should be held liable when there’s a crash? In this podcast, we hear from insurance litigator Dennis Cusack of Farella Braun + Martel, Ford Motor Co. in-house counsel Emily Frascaroli, and Baker McKenzie’s Lothar Determann, who has written about the&amp;nbsp;“open” driverless car. If there’s one takeaway, it’s that things are about to get complicated for automakers. &amp;nbsp; “I think the presumption we’re going to have out the outset is that, if there is an accident with a fully autonomous car, the car and the manufacturer, are going to be at fault,” Cusack said.
