Michigan Connected and Automated Vehicle

Working Group The 2018 winter meeting of the Michigan Connected and Automated Vehicle Working Group was held on January 30, 2018, at the Link Engineering Dearborn Technical Center (401 Southfield Rd., Dearborn, MI 48120).

Meeting Notes Adela Spulber, Transportation Systems Analyst at the Center for Automotive Research (CAR), opened the meeting and discussed the agenda, Working Group mission, and noteworthy connected and automated vehicle (CAV) events. Adela highlighted CAR’s upcoming Industry Briefing, Artificial Intelligence Applications to Driver Assistance and Vehicle Automation, which will take place on February 15, 2018, at the VisTaTech Center (18600 Haggerty Rd., Livonia, MI). After Adela’s introduction, Terry Woychowski, Vice-President of North American Test Operations at Link Engineering Company, welcomed the group and gave an overview of Link Engineering’s activities regarding testing equipment and services. Terry specifically described Link’s tests of adaptive braking, electronic stability control, and lane departure systems. Following Terry’s presentation, Dr. Edward Straub, Technical Program Director at the American Center for Mobility, discussed the challenges and roles of CAV testing. Edward began by pointing that CAV testing is cross-disciplinary and related to many standards across industries. Also, CAV testing covers not only the performance of components and software but also the decision-making ability of systems – evaluating the automated driving task, in other words. That will require developing an ever-evolving scenario catalog as well as criteria for passing the tests. Finally, Edward gave an update on ACM’s development. ACM opened its high-speed loop in December 2017 and will continue building different parts of the proving ground in the next years. After Edward’s presentation, Jennifer Dukarski, Attorney at Butzel Long, addressed the top legal issues related to connected and automated vehicles. Jennifer first explained that while companies have great opportunities to monetize data, they also need to address privacy and security concerns and comply with the relevant U.S. and international legal framework. Related to cybersecurity, cases involving speculative hacking might increase in number and importance over the next years, and upcoming decisions on data breach cases in other industries might affect their outcomes. Jennifer also pointed out that a critical issue related to warranty will be dealing with components that have a life expectancy inferior to that of the vehicle. Jennifer also explained that the current framework for dealing with product liability will be sufficient to cover CAV-related issues and does not necessarily need to evolve. Finally, on liability, Jennifer indicated that CAVs raise many questions (such as liability when an automaker fails to train a new user to

operate a vehicle correctly), but also provides answers (because more data will be available to investigate vehicle crashes). Following Jennifer’s presentation, Scott Shogan, Vice-President and CAV Market Leader at WSP, facilitated the discussion on a few of the latest CAV topics. The discussion focused on the evolution of the federal Automated Vehicle Policy. The Working Group members exchanged views on the elements that should be included in the third edition of the Policy. Then, the participants debated on the essential characteristics that would make an area the right place for first deployments of automated taxi networks, namely detailed maps, controlled environments such as airports and university campuses, and an informed public. After a short break, Collin Castle, ITS Program Manager at the Michigan Department of Transportation, provided an update on MDOT’s CAV activities. Collin presented the Department’s new CAV Strategic Plan, which will be available on MDOT’s website in the following weeks. Also, MDOT released a Connected Signals Policy, which states that all new traffic signals on the MDOT system will be CV-enabled, and details the technical requirements. Then, Collin mentioned a few of MDOT’s partnerships, notably the red light violation warning project with General Motors, the work zone data harmonization part of the Smart Belt Coalition, platooning testing with TARDEC, cross-border CAV testing with Magna and Continental, and the Coalition for Safety Sooner. Finally, Collin informed Working Group members about the 2018 ITS America Annual Meeting & Expo, which will take place June 4-7 at Cobo Center in Detroit. The call for papers is open until March 1st, and the call for demonstrations is open until March 15. More information about exhibits and demonstrations is available on the event’s website (https://itsdetroit2018.org/) and by contacting Michele Mueller, Sr. Project Manager at MDOT and chair of the Technology Showcase for the event (muellerm2@michigan.gov). Allison Drutchas, Counsel Autonomous Vehicles at General Motors, reviewed the most significant developments for automated vehicle law and policy in 2017. Allison compared the two federal bills in progress, the House of Representatives’ SELF DRIVE Act and the Senate’s AV START Act. Allison also analyzed the changes brought to the Automated Vehicle Policy by the 2017 update. Finally, Allison focused on state legislation, specifically on seven states including Michigan that recently removed barriers to automated vehicle deployments, enabled self-certification of these vehicles similar to the federal level, set insurance coverage requirements, and maintained current liability standards. Gerald Lane, Senior Engineer, Business Developer and Project Manager at Great Lakes Systems & Technology LLC (GLS&T), closed the meeting with an overview of the 2018 Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition - Self Drive Challenge. The event will take place June 1-4, 2018 at Oakland University in Rochester, MI and is an excellent opportunity for companies to interact with student engineers and identify potential recruits. At the end of the meeting, Working Group members had the opportunity to tour the Link Engineering Dearborn Technical Center. MDOT maintains a webpage dedicated to its work related to CAV technologies (http://www.michigan.gov/mdot/0,1607,7-151-9621_11041_38217---,00.html). The page includes documents, presentations, and other materials that may be of interest to CAV stakeholders. Meeting packets containing materials (agenda, meeting notes, attendance, and presentation slides) from past Michigan Connected and Automated Vehicle Working Group meetings are also available on this page.

Top Legal Issues in Connected

and Autonomous VehiclesJennifer A. Dukarski @JDukarski

Legal Uncertainty: Legislation,

Regulation and Guidance

• The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS)

• National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

(NHTSA) Preliminary Statement of Policy Concerning

Automated Vehicles

• September 20, 2016 Federal Autonomous Vehicle

Policy (USDOT)

• September 12, 2017 Federal Autonomous Vehicle

Policy 2.0 (USDOT)

• Dead: The SELF DRIVE Act (courtesy of Diane

Feinstein, Ed Markey, and Richard Blumenthal)

Data Privacy and Monetization

• The car is fast becoming a repository

of data:

– Biometric data

– Facial recognition software

– Geolocation and behavioral data

– The “emotional car” that “builds a

relationship” with the driver

• The privacy and security implications

– Cybersecurity and data breach

– Personal Health Information (PHI)

• Global implications

– GDPR and cross-border driving

Cybersecurity

• As noted in the Guardian, “[s]elf-driving

cars will prove an irresistible target for

hackers if they ever hit the roads.”

• Although many recent studies

demonstrate the susceptibility of

traditional cars to such cyberattacks, the

stakes may be higher for autonomous

vehicles which could be weaponized or

rendered immobile with ransomware.

Speculative Hacking Litigation:

Cahen v. Toyota• In Cahen v. Toyota Motor Corp., 147 F.Supp.3d 955 (N.D.

Cal. 2015), consumers brought a class action against Ford, General Motors, and Toyota alleging that the vehicles were equipped with technology that was susceptible to being hacked by third parties.

• The court determined that there was no proof that the harm of a hack was “certainly impending” and only showed that it was possible.

• As this harm was not concrete and particularized to the individuals in the suit, the plaintiffs failed to properly show an injury in fact.

• The court also established that the speculative risk of future harm did not lead to an alleged economic injury without proof of more.

Warranty

• Addressing warranty for

components with a life

expectancy less than the life of

the vehicle

• Accepting and negotiating for

liability and indemnification in

agreements, especially in the

mapping, sensing, artificial

intelligence and augmented

reality supply base.

• Preparing for the technical

expertise needed to determine

root cause

Product Liability: Second Verse,

Same as the First

• Negligence: Product manufacturers have a duty to exercise a reasonable degree of care in designing products to be safe when used in used in reasonably foreseeable ways.

• Strict Liability: A company can be held responsible if it manufactures and sells a defective product causing harm to a person or property. Strict liability includes:

– Design Defects

– Manufacturing Defects

– Failure to Warn

• Breach of Warranty: Assurances, either express or implied, that goods are of sufficient quality.

• Misrepresentation: Reliance on false or misleading information that leads to harm.

Liability: Users and Level 3

Autonomy

• What if a user/driver deactivates the system?

• What if a user fails to properly maintain the system or update software?

• What will be the impact of more in-vehicle distractions?

• Will the long-term “loss of driving experience” impact liability in Level 3 vehicles?

Vehicle Accidents, EDR and the

Tesla Model X: You Can’t Fool Us

“Everyone makes mistakes,

and many people try to

cover them up. But if you try

to hide an error made behind

the wheel of a car made by

Tesla Motors, you are liable to

be caught out. In fact, trying

to hide what really happened

in any kind of car accident

could soon become just

about impossible.”

Tom Simonite, Tesla Knows When a

Crash Is Your Fault, and Other

Carmakers Soon Will, Too, MIT

Technology Review, June 8, 2016.

• In 2016, the owner of a Tesla Model X asserted the vehicle suddenly accelerated into a building

• Tesla used its data to confirm that “consistent with the driver’s actions, the vehicle applied torque and accelerated as instructed.”

• Tesla confirmed the vehicle was in manual mode and Autopilot was not engaged.
