The Reminger Report: Emerging Technologies
Autonomous Vehicles: Impacts on Accident Reconstruction with Michael Urban (Part 2)
Show Notes

Zachary is joined by Michael Urban, an engineer who focuses on the forensic evaluation of vehicular collisions; product and material failures; automotive design, development, and testing with Rimkus Consulting Group, Inc. 

Zachary and Michael review autonomous driving technology's impact on accident reconstruction and common misconceptions about driverless cars.  Part 2 highlights include:

  • Autonomous vehicles provide a much higher level of data and evidence for accident reconstruction. Now, vehicle data and technology (such as cameras, lane assist, and automatic braking) work together to form a full profile of an accident.
  • Autonomous tech has rolled out to many industries in the commercial sector: FedEx, hospitals, rideshare cars. When can we expect it for everyday consumers?
  • Common misconceptions about driverless technology. Focusing on the causes of AV accidents, not just the headlines.

Be sure to join us next week for part 2 of this discussion, where Zachary and Michael review AV's impact on accident reconstruction.
