Overview Upheld, the Podcast for Judges Come to Order Rule of Law Podcast

Come to Order

Come to Order

Come on the road with The National Judicial College Judicial Ambassadors as they educate judges on a wide variety of topics related to keeping America’s highways safe including CDL issues, masking, autonomous vehicles, human trafficking and more. If it happens on the highway, we talk about it here. 

Episodes

 

Episode One: Autonomous Vehicles, Part I
Judge Thomas Fowler and Judge Gayle Williams-Byers kick off the Come to Order podcast with the first of a four-part series on autonomous vehicles. Learn the definitions and capabilities of Level 0-2 autonomous vehicles and the legal questions they create.

Episode Two: Autonomous Vehicles, Part II

This episode of Come to Order continues the discussion on autonomous vehicles, focusing on level 4 and level 5 vehicles. The judges discuss the future of passenger vehicles at this level as well as commercial level 4 vehicles that are on the road today. 

Episode Three: Autonomous Vehicles, Part III

In the third episode in our series on autonomous vehicles, Judge Fowler and Judge Williams-Byers analyze how advancements in vehicle technology could impact impaired driving cases. When do drivers have actual physical control over autonomous vehicles and what impact will a law’s use of the word operating versus driving impact a case? Tune in to find out! 

Episode Four: Autonomous Vehicles, Part IV

In this fourth and final episode on autonomous vehicles, Judges Fowler and Williams-Byers analyze the probable cause and privacy issues that arise with autonomous vehicles.  How are level one and two autonomous vehicles hindering basic traffic stops today and what happens if police stop a fully autonomous vehicle with no driver? Judges, listen to find out!
