Governor: 3 things Holding Self Driving Cars Back

Michigan Governor, a former tech executive, says these 3 tings are holding back autonomous vehicles:

• Public is slow to embrace the technology
• Effective commubnication to the public of the benefits of self-driving and connected vehicles
• Coordinated work by 3 levels of government:
  • federal government to regulate design of vehicles
  • state government sets traffic laws & build highways
  • local governments install connected streetlights & other infrastructure 

What does Governor Rick Snyder think will be the first uses of autonomous vehicles?

• commercial deliveries or parking shuttles
