Summary

New technologies represent new challenges for the law. The Internet is no longer uncharted territory, but rather sensitive issues such as cyber-attacks, privacy, the protection of minors or even cloud computing are still hotly debated subjects. Technization and digitization go well beyond the World Wide Web. Automated road transport is an equally future-oriented topic, the development of which must be accompanied by changes in the law. This volume contains contributions on research being conducted in Germany, the USA, Canada and Greece. The series Robotics and Law, edited by Prof. Eric Hilgendorf and Prof. Susanne Beck, deals with legal questions relevant to practical work which are related to robotics, technization and digitization.With contributions byProf. Eric Hilgendorf, Prof. Susanne Beck, Prof. Mark Kende, Prof. Ari Ezra Waldman, Prof. Maria Kaiafa-Gbandi, Prof. Sara Sun Beale and Peter Berris, Prof. Frank Peter Schuster
