Transforming How Crashes and Claims Are Handled

In this session, Mike Nelson (Nelson Law LLC) and Dr. Bryan Reimer (MIT) break down how vehicle data, autonomous systems, and connected services are changing crash investigation, liability, and insurance.


What You’ll Learn

  • Data as Evidence: How sensors, telematics, dash-cams, and infrastructure feeds work together to determine fault, not just human testimony.
  • Modern Claims Processing: Why manual reviews are being replaced by analytics-first workflows that reduce costs, cycle times, and litigation risk.
  • Access & Ownership Challenges: Legal and technical barriers to data sharing, ownership and transparency in the connected-vehicle era.
  • Autonomy and Industry Gaps: A look at how sensor fusion and software-defined vehicles compare globally, and where U.S. OEMs stand.
  • Regulatory & Strategic Shifts: What insurers, manufacturers and regulators must do to stay ahead in an evolving mobility ecosystem.

Why It Matters

As vehicles move from mechanical machines to data-rich, connected platforms, understanding who did what, when, and under what system control is essential. This webinar provides a roadmap for insurers, attorneys and OEMs to embrace that shift—before legacy practices become liabilities.
