Vehicle Data in the Age of ADAS: What Lawyers Need to Know

Automated and semi-automated vehicle systems are now common across major manufacturers and they generate data that can be critical in accident investigations. In this CLE, Andrew McDevitt will examine how advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) function and the types of data they capture before, during, and after a crash.

Through case examples, this program will explore systems such as combined cruise control and lane keeping, automatic emergency braking, and lane assistance, with a focus on how their data is recorded, preserved, and interpreted. Attendees will learn how to identify key evidence, understand the limitations of event data recorder (EDR) outputs, and spot potential red flags in vehicle-generated data.

Participants will leave with a practical understanding of how ADAS technology impacts accident reconstruction and litigation strategy across a range of vehicle manufacturers.
