There are now over 20 speakers already announced for the Autonomous Vehicle Safety Regulation World Congress in Detroit, US, taking place on October 25-26 2016.

With legal issues and regulatory challenges still the greatest obstacles for the adoption of autonomous vehicle technology, the publishers of Traffic Technology International are delighted to announce the world’s first and only conference dedicated to discussing and debating the necessary regulatory changes required to allow further testing of autonomous vehicle technology, as well as defining a universal set of standards for autonomous vehicle technology manufacturers. As well as this the conference will focus on the potential legal issues facing automotive manufacturers and technology suppliers that will inevitably arise from this new technology.
