About this event

Professor Cummings will detail lessons learned in her recent role as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Senior Safety Advisor, including an examination of the use (or lack thereof) of systems engineering principles, the need for formalized safety cultures, and what technology and policy mitigations are needed to advance autonomous vehicle (AV) applications.
