765: Dentons – Autonomous Vehicles and the Driverless Commute

The renowned lecturer and political counselor is widely regarded as one of the nation’s preeminent public policy thought leaders, has served in the administrations of three US presidents and as a senior advisor to a US senator and governor, and held a US Senate-confirmable post governing a federal agency.
