The current rules governing railroad mergers of this scope have not been tested in the 20 years since they went into effect, and these proposed deals present a wide range of issues and angles to explore.

The first half of this motor carrier panel will discuss big hypothetical topic like dramatically expanding the scope of the FMCSA, as well as other trends, topics and what is on the horizon from a safety and enforcement perspective, along with practical day-to-day safety enforcement issues stemming from recent changes in FMCSA regulations.

3:00 PM: Where does integration of automated vehicles stand and can the NHTSA, FAA, and their Canadian counterparts work together to plot the course?
Automated Vehicles in Freight Networks: Considerations for the Transportation Attorney Automated cars, trucks and aircraft – once the stuff of science fiction – are now a reality and making inroads in the freight transportation industry. Attorneys will be increasingly involved in advising on the deployment of these vehicles and their integration into B2B and B2C delivery networks. Learn about recent regulatory developments and rules issued by the FAA with regard to the operation of unmanned aircraft, NHTSA’s NPRM on Automated Driving System Safety, and USDOT’s Automated Vehicles Comprehensive Plan for the integration of automated driving systems into our existing transportation system.
This panel will provide a general update on these developments, the novel legal issues that they present, and the likely roles that transportation attorneys will play during this period of rapid technological development.
