Autonomous Cars With Marc Hoag

If you remember, I was invited to be a guest on the podcast of the law firm TuckerEllis LLP in which we discussed, above all, the standard of care to which autonomous cars should be held in an autonomous future. That episode ended up clocking in at a whopping 45 minutes in length, so I'm running a poll on Twitter to get a sense for whether you'd like me to release it as one large episode tomorrow (Friday, Feb 1) or to split it into two parts, with Part II airing next Tuesday (Feb 5).
