Driverless: The Business of Autonomous Vehicles
By Mike Sheldrick
An upcoming Silicon Valley conference will explore the state and future of autonomous vehicles.
Fleet Management Weekly is a media sponsor of Driveless: The Business of Autonomous Vehicles. It will be held on March 22-23 at the San Francisco Airport Crowne Plaza.
Fleet Management Weekly has been keeping a close eye on autonomous vehicle developments. That's only natural because the top names in the field -- Google, Apple, and Tesla are close to our offices, along with high-tech suppliers and R&D operations of many OEMs.
As we've written in the past, the adoption of driverless vehicles may be determined more by legal and liability issues -- as well as by driver acceptance -- than by the technology.
