  • Report on Fully-Networked Car Workshop
    The Fully Networked Car Workshop, Palexpo, Geneva, 5-7 March 2008 Meeting report The fourth annual workshop on the “Fully Networked Car”, organized jointly by ITU, ISO and IEC, was held in Geneva, 5-7 March 2008, in association with the Geneva International Motor Show, one of the world’s leading automotive events. The event, which this year attracted some 250 participants, was accompanied by demonstrations of the use of ICTs in the automotive sector, with a focus this year on Honda Racing F1 Team's new 2008 “Earthdreams” Formula One Car. Wednesday 5 March: Opening session The workshop was opened by Mr Malcolm Johnson, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Bureau, who welcomed participants and explained the objectives of the event, which are to demonstrate the current state of the art in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the automotive sector. The theme of this year’s event is the contribution that ICTs and intelligent transport systems (ITS) can make to the global combat against climate change. On behalf of ITU, Dr Hamadoun I. Touré, Secretary-General, reminded participants that the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, has called climate change the “moral challenge of our generation”, and explained that the future aim should be to develop cars that are cleaner and greener. This will not only be good for society but also for the car industry, in conferring an important competitive advantage. He explained a number of ways in which ITU is contributing to this effort, including the recent expansion of the work of the FITCAR (From/In/To Cars Communication) Focus Group, and ITU’s hosting of the Advisory Panel for Standards Cooperation on Telecommunications related to Motor Vehicles (ASPC TELEMOV).

  • Federalizing Contract Law
    LCB_24_1_Article_5_Plass_Correction (Do Not Delete) 3/6/2020 10:06 AM FEDERALIZING CONTRACT LAW by Stephen A. Plass* Contract law is generally understood as state common law, supplemented by the Second Restatement of Contracts and Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code. It is regarded as an expression of personal liberty, anchored in the bar- gain and consideration model of the 19th century or classical period. However, for some time now, non-bargained or adhesion contracts have been the norm, and increasingly, the adjudication of legal rights and contractual remedies is controlled by privately determined arbitration rules. The widespread adoption of arbitral adjudication by businesses has been enthusiastically endorsed by the Supreme Court as consonant with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). How- ever, Court precedents have concluded that only bilateral or individualized arbitration promotes the goals of the FAA, while class arbitration is destruc- tive. Businesses and the Court have theorized that bilateral arbitration is an efficient process that reduces the transaction costs of all parties thereby permit- ting firms to reduce prices, create jobs, and innovate or improve products. But empirical research tells a different story. This Article discusses the constitu- tional contours of crafting common law for the FAA and its impact on state and federal laws. It shows that federal common law rules crafted for the FAA can operate to deny consumers and workers the neoclassical contractual guar- antee of a minimum adequate remedy and rob the federal and state govern- ments of billions of dollars in tax revenue. From FAA precedents the Article distills new rules of contract formation, interpretation, and enforcement and shows how these new rules undermine neoclassical limits on private control of legal remedies.
