Partner Robert Alfert Discusses The Transportation Future and Autonomous Vehicle Technology in Florida

Orlando Business Journal

Far reaching, the law opens the door for the advancement and implementation of autonomous vehicle technology in the State of Florida. Notably, the law specifically opens the door for the Florida Turnpike Authority to contract directly with private entities for the implementation of autonomous vehicle technology and systems in Florida.
