Episode 81 - Envisioning a Safer Future with the Self-Driving Coalition

ADAS and AV technologies are evolving at a rapid pace — but developing safeties and conveniences won’t be fully realized if the public doesn’t understand them. That’s why industry leaders founded the Self-Driving Coalition to educate policymakers and the public, promote the benefits of self-driving vehicles and support the safe and rapid deployment of these potentially life-saving technologies. 

Ariel Wolf, General Counsel at the Self-Driving Coalition, discusses the future of policy at the local, state, and federal levels, and how these policies need to enhance public trust, maximize public deployment and promote innovation to create a safer tomorrow.
