President & Lead Consultant
Mitchell L. Gingrich, Founder & President, Autonomous Consulting
Law. Business. Autonomous Vehicles.
Launching accurately reflects the professional experience that Mitch brings to everything that he does. This was first evidenced in building a solo law practice into a well-regarded law firm in Akron, Ohio, USA, where he shepherded clients through the complexities of launching businesses and non-profit organizations looking to improve the lives of those within their communities.
An entrepreneurial bent led to him wearing multiple hats as a co-founder of Mims Motors Corporation, an electric vehicle company based in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, and to participating in the development of autonomous vehicles with Uber ATG in Tempe, Arizona, USA. In relocating to New Zealand in 2018, Mitch operates a consulting business where government, agri-tech firms, research organisations, and industry seek his insights and guidance in developing policies relating to the testing and the eventual utilisation of autonomous vehicles in public areas.
He holds a Bachelor of Arts from The University of Akron (1985) and a Juris Doctor from The University of Akron School of Law (1988).
Currently, he lives in Christchurch, New Zealand.
