Autonomous Vehicles and Our Safety

Dear Care for Crash Victims Community Members:

Ben Kelley has written two insightful pieces on our safety in the growing use of autonomous vehicles.  See attached Fair Warning article and Journal of Public Health Policy.

“The paper, appearing in the current issue of the Journal of Public Health Policy, serves as a comprehensive, deeply-sourced discussion of AV prospects and hazards in the emerging era of transition from conventional motor vehicles to entirely autonomous motor vehicles – a transition which will span decades. The op-ed, published on Fairwarning.org and in the Oregonian, looks at the outlook for Trump Administration policies that may influence AV safety, for better or worse.”
