Tesla Motors was just hit 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 proposed regulations for fully autonomous vehicles\u2014the kind that wouldn\u2019t 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\u2019s 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\u2019s Lothar Determann, who has written about the \u201copen\u201d driverless car. If there\u2019s one takeaway, it\u2019s that things are about to get complicated for automakers.   \u201cI think the presumption we\u2019re 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,\u201d Cusack said.
