Preemption, Privacy, and People: Laying the Legal and Policy Foundations to Support Long-term Success of Transportation Technologies

1.5 CM (Law) / LU Pending

This session will focus on three new considerations that innovation brings with it: 1) How to maintain state and local regulatory control in consideration of our diverse national transportation system while balancing the promotion of innovation; 2) Analyzing privacy law in an era where "smart" technologies are being deployed on public assets and collecting citizen data; and, 3) onsidering what outreach and education should be done to citizens around the deployment of new technologies to not only promote use and adoption, but to also ensure consumer trust with the increased collection of data through public-private partnerships.
