Professor William Widen recently participated in a conference in Vienna, Austria, sponsored by The Autonomous, a global community helping to shape the future of safe autonomous mobility. Mercedes-Benz, Cruise, German traffic authorities and legal experts all participated in this leading international convention dedicated to vehicle autonomy.
In his panel, Widen discussed “Regulation – a Bottleneck or a Facilitator of Autonomous Driving?” The conference was focused on liability and who is held accountable when highly automated vehicles make mistakes.
Widen teaches commercial law, contracts, and other business subjects at Miami Law. A cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School, where he was editor of the Harvard Law Review, Widen clerked for Levin Campbell, Chief Judge of the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
