The Phoenix area is a hotbed of autonomous vehicle development and testing. It is not unusual to spot cars topped with spinning cameras and other technology driving down city streets. City and State government has made an effort to attract tech companies, like Google, Uber, and others, working on autonomous vehicles.
Faculty Fellow Diana Bowman and law student and executive director of the Institute for Digital Progress Dominic Papa attended this year’s Autonomous Vehicles Conference in Detroit. The three-day conference brought together experts and industry professionals to discuss artificial intelligence, mapping, machine learning, and more.
Bowman and Papa joined Bryan Smith, Director of Business Development for the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, for a panel discussion sponsored by the Center for Law, Science and Innovation – A Connected Region: Why Companies Flock to Greater Phoenix’s AV Ecosystem.
