"One of Vosen's first priorities will be to become well-versed with the technology in the autonomous vehicle that Google is creating, says Bryant Walker Smith, an authority on self-driving cars and an assistant professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law: "A great deal of time will be spent on that. It's a crucial underpinning to effectively discuss anything from contracting to IP to liability to regulation."
Smith points out that Vosen isn't technically the first attorney on this project. There have been others working on legal and regulatory issues since 2010, when Google announced the project, who will continue to "have a tremendous amount of influence and public profile," he says."
