Ep. 71 - The Riad Case and Self-Driving Car Crashes: Is Tesla at Fault?

Is This Legal?

With self-driving technology becoming more and more common, the inevitable re-drawing of legal lines has begun to figure out who's at fault, and to what extent, when self-driving cars crash. In this episode of the show, Colin and Russ tackle a recent case from California involving a Tesla driver, Kevin Riad, who faces felony charges for an accident resulting in multiple fatalities. Is Mr. Riad liable criminally? Is Tesla? Also features an "Is This Legal?" segment with a guest who must ponder not one but two legal quandaries, and a Dumb Criminal of the Week that, shockingly, does not come out of Florida. Sit back, and tune in!
