The study of random graphs is a rich and well-developed field. However, the standard tools of this field break down when forbidding edge intersections. Our current understanding of random non-intersecting graphs is based on different methods, such as charging schemes. 

 

This talk is an introduction to this rather different theory of random graphs. We will survey the current best results (some by the speaker), applications, and common tools.
