He supports litigation involving autonomous cars, drones, delivery robots, and other smart mobility platforms—translating complex technical systems into clear and defensible findings. His expertise includes vehicle software architecture, LIDAR and RADAR sensor analysis, AI-driven decision-making systems, and the integration of edge computing in autonomous platforms.

Whether the dispute centers on liability in a collision involving an autonomous vehicle, defects in vehicle perception systems, or failure in path-planning algorithms, Randy provides the technical insight attorneys need to evaluate fault, compliance, and systemic failure. His work helps ensure that evidence from black box systems, sensor logs, and AI decision trees are properly interpreted and admissible under evidentiary standards.

Expert Analysis for High-Tech Transportation Disputes

As autonomous technologies become more prevalent on roads, skies, and sidewalks, legal disputes involving these systems are rapidly increasing. Attorneys handling such cases need expert witnesses who can:

  • Decode vehicle control logic and fail-safe protocols

  • Evaluate compliance with NHTSA, FMVSS, and SAE J3016 guidelines

  • Interpret event data recorders and telemetry

  • Review perception and decision layers in autonomous stacks

  • Explain AI behavior in safety-critical moments

Randy Winters bridges the gap between these technical components and legal liability frameworks—helping litigators establish or challenge claims involving negligence, product failure, regulatory noncompliance, or wrongful death.

Supporting Plaintiffs and Defendants in Smart Vehicle Cases

Randy has supported litigation teams on both sides of the aisle with:

  • Analysis of sensor calibration and fusion errors

  • Review of object detection and path prediction failures

  • Assessment of human override logic and system hand-off designs

  • Source code and software architecture reviews of vehicle control systems

  • Technical declarations in disputes over AV product development and IP theft

From early investigation through deposition and testimony, he provides robust, unbiased technical evaluations in litigation involving autonomous platforms.
