Autonomous Vehicles
From self-driving cars and trucks to drones and autonomous eVTOL aircraft, autonomous vehicles are poised to disrupt multiple industries as they move toward mass adoption. The pace of innovation and broadening deployment brings with it increased regulatory scrutiny and heightened expectations around safety, data and performance.
McGuireWoods’ autonomous vehicles practice helps companies navigate evolving federal, state and local regulations while managing risk across the product lifecycle. We work with companies across the autonomous vehicle ecosystem — including manufacturers, suppliers, software and technology providers, and investors — to provide practical guidance on product liability exposure, privacy and cybersecurity, testing and deployment requirements, and interactions with regulators and policymakers. We also support autonomous vehicle clients in addressing the broader business and legal issues they face, including strategic transactions, intellectual property and technology licensing, supply chain management, commercial agreements, insurance considerations, government investigations and complex disputes.
With McGuireWoods Consulting, we also provide integrated legal and public policy services, helping clients anticipate regulatory changes, engage effectively with policymakers and operate with confidence in a rapidly evolving legal and regulatory environment.
