E417 – Chris Talks Autonomous Vehicles

1 hour 19 minutes

Chris Smith has been a community transportation advocate (in his spare time!) for about 20 years, and thinks a lot about how our streets work. Who better to explain the coming autonomous vehicle revolution from the perspective of Portland, Oregon? I, for one, welcome our new overlords! Did I say overlords? I meant protectors. How does all of this work, how safe is it, and who’s running this thing, anyways? {redacted}
