4th Annual Florida Automated Vehicle Summit

The 4th Annual Florida Automated Vehicle Summit was held in Tampa on November 29-30, 2016. I had the opportunity to speak on a panel moderated by FDOT District 7 Secretary Paul Steinman on "CV/AV State of the Nation: V2I Deployment Coalition," along with Shailen Bhat and Gummada Murthy. I also moderated a great panel session with Joe Waggoner, Senator Jeff Brandes and Jim Barbaresso.
