Are we ready for cars and trucks that don't need us? Automakers, universities, and others are researching a range of advanced automation technologies that may make so-called autonomous driving possible. This class asks whether driverless vehicles are street legal, who is responsible when they crash, what trade-offs they require -- and, in each case, who gets to decide.
