In 2019, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill removing unnecessary obstacles that hinder the development of autonomous vehicle technology. And as part of that promise, Florida invested $150 million on Suntrax, a state-of-the-art Connected Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) testing facility located in Auburndale, between Lakeland and Orlando. Each autonomous vehicle will generate a torrent of data that could, if mishandled, become a breach of personal privacy. For many, there exists a built-in resistance to fully autonomous vehicles. The future might be autonomous vehicles, but we have a very long way to go.
