Episode 12 - Justin Schorr of DJS Associates

Justin Schorr is an engineer with a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from George Washington University.  He has been working with DJS Associates -- a family owned forensic engineering firm -- literally since he was a child.   In addition to his engineering background, we discussed collision reconstruction, biomechanical assessments, and spent much of the interview discussing autonomous vehicles.    Many of us have heard or read about self-driving cars and the potential impact -- good or bad -- on the number of accidents that would result from their rollout.   But as Justin points out, autonomous vehicles will necessarily be data collection systems so that they can communicate with other autonomous vehicles.   Will the majority of drivers sign up to have all their vehicle's movements recorded?  What's more, some studies show 90% of vehicles will need to be autonomous before we realize tangible safety improvements.   For more info about Justin and his team of engineers, check out www.forensicDJS.com.
