Ep1: Self-Driving Cars + Control Law Zero Podcast

Do cars that drive themselves scare you or excite you? Welcome to Law Zero: a podcast about the implications (intended or otherwise) of emerging technology.

This week’s episode(our first ever!) will cover everything from the trolley problem to teenage independence, and robo-car-bat hybrids, to the future of policing, the SELF DRIVE Act, Uber’s big bet on self-driving cars, and more. We publish every other Tuesday so be sure to subscribe.
