Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are gaining traction in states where regulations encourage advanced technology to ride alongside traditional transportation. But in areas where AVs are in everyday traffic, issues like driver safety and data collection are being watched by policymakers. For both innovators and lawmakers, there remain many lessons to be learned about the opportunities and challenges posed by this new technological twist on auto traffic.

On this episode, Shane is joined by Grayson Brulte, co-founder of Brulte & Company — a Florida-based consulting firm that helps AV innovators develop and market their products. Recently, Grayson has discussed the future of self-driving cars with a number of state and local officials on his “Road to Autonomy” podcast, and has led successful AV testing programs in Floridian communities. He joins “Explain to Shane” to discuss the biggest barriers to getting more AVs on the road, and how both manufacturers and passengers should approach them.
