Vehicle operates as Windows System Automobiles would frequently crash for no apparent reason. This would be so common that motorists would simply accept it, restart their car and continue driving. Airbags would ask, 'Are you sure?' before deployment. Vehicles would occasionally shut down completely and refuse to restart, requiring motorists to reinstall their engine. www.vtpi.org/avip.pdf 2

CAS AVTF: Overview Goal The CAS AVTF is researching the technology s risks to provide policymakers with the information needed to ensure the product is brought to market as safely and efficiently as possible. Focus Pre market Post market Post claim identify & quantify risks accurately price the technology compensate claimants fairly & efficiently 4

Three key technologies for AVs V2V/V2I Vehicle to Vehicle or Vehicle to Infrastructure Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), similar to wifi Vehicle to communication to other vehicles or infrastructure (traffic signals, toll booths, etc LiDAR Light Detection And Ranging combination of light and radar, and uses laser light to create 3D images of the surrounding environment. Remote sensing technology to measure distances Inertial Navigation Systems & GPS INS uses computers, accelerometers (motion), and gyroscopes (rotation) Calculates position, orientation, and velocity 9

2015 Developments January Audi partner with Nvidea to use Tegra X1 chips Nissan & NASA announce automated research project partnership February Uber and Carnegie Mellon University announce strategic partnership Apple reported to be working on automated vehicles Sony s image sensors and ZMP s robotics April Delphi 3,400 mile cross country trip with 99% of miles in autonomous mode Nevada licenses Mercedes Freightliner truck Nokia s HERE: 2 billion offer from auto manufacture and Uber reported to offer $3 billion May Tesla adjusts adaptive cruise control to limit liability Daimler s self-driving truck got license and hit the road July M City in University of Michigan 12
London s AV testing regulations may increase investment No special licenses or permits requires No geographical limits No additional insurance requirements Goal Light-touch non-regulatory approach provides clarity for industry to invest in further in research 13
London has 3 trials underway UK Autodrive Programme: 3 years to pave way for introduc?on of AVs Dept. of Transporta.on put ~$29M USD for trials Explore both legal and technical changes required for Autonomous Vehicles Milton Keyes and Coventry Lutz Pods that drive in pedestrian zones Max speed 15 mph Electronic AV Greenwich GATEway shucles Electronic AV Local tour with drop off points: input descnacon on CPU Bristol Venturer consorcum will invescgate congescon and safety BAE Wildcat 14
Future development may create three models for AVs Private: all driving/limited loca?on End to end service Only operates in specified area Taxi service Google, Uber Private: Some driving/all loca?ons Takes over some of the driving E.g. Supercruise, parallel parking Only operates in specified area Driver owns and operates Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, Cadillac, Telsa

NMVCCS Implications of the CAS Study New benchmark should be calculated Data is old and unrepresentacve Human driving risks <> automated vehicle risks Appropriate test for each risk Computer simulacons for technology s error rate SimulaCons provide licle insight into driver s actual use of technology. Policy changes can increase AV s safety 1% reduccon in accidents is ~55k fewer accidents and $1.4 billion of economic value per year Policy cost benefit analysis E.g. driver training program, automated vehicle only lanes, allowing the Avs to speed 28

Upcoming Projects: Average Accident Rate Comparable Driver Match location & type Match driver characteristics Issues with NHTSA Data Only include police reported accidents Cannot segment by driver type Insurance Data Calculate frequencies for different driving segments Can more accurately define good driver GLM s lead to a more stable & accurate calculations 34
Upcoming Projects: Auto Liability vs. Products Liability Quantify the change in costs from liability systems Scenario #1: Assume no change in accidents Scenario #2: Accident frequency is reduced by X% Determine what X needs to equal for Scenario 1 = Scenario 2 Scenario #3: Cap liability to $Z Determine what Z needs to be for Scenario 1 = Scenario 3 Scenario #4: Combination of Scenario #2 & #3 35

Current U.S. regulatory approach varies by state Comments CA, DC, FL, MI, NV have regulations that permit operation/testing of AVs May 2013 NHTSA publication Statement with guidance to states on AV regulations Statement outlined NHTSA plans for testing AV technology 37 hcp://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/wiki/index.php/automated_driving:_legislacve_and_regulatory_accon
Consumer Protection NHTSA States establishes regulacons that manufacturers must self- cercfy with State regulators can impose addiconal requirements Individuals Individuals can sue manufacturers if an error occurs Manufactures An alliance of twelve automakers will create a center for sharing informacon and analysis. 38
Regulatory approach needs to be updated Insufficient protec?on for consumers and manufacturers AlliedSignal, Inc v.
