Summary

From driver assist to completely autonomous to good-old fashioned “you take the wheel,” our vehicles are getting smarter all the time. Vehicles have technologies that range from the Event Data Recorder Module (EMD) or “black box” to what are essentially “Ring cameras.” ™

Michael J. Nichols will cover what data is collected by these electronic data recorders and other emerging technologies now available in vehicles to help you understand how law enforcement is using that data as a starting point to determine happened in a crash and to ascribe fault. In representing your car crash client, it is critical to understand how law enforcement uses this data – and how you can use it to increase your client’s recovery or evaluate the viability of a case.
