Washington may move fast, but transportation tech moves even faster.

In this episode of Dykema Drives, Kirby Howard, Government Policy Advisor at Dykema, sits down with Laura Chace, President and CEO at ITS America, to discuss the policy decisions shaping the future of intelligent transportation.

Listen as they discuss the big questions driving the industry today, including:

• How AI and connected technologies are being deployed in the real world
• What Detroit showed about the momentum behind transportation innovation
• Why Congress needs to treat digital infrastructure as a core part of surface transportation reauthorization

The future of transportation is already here, but the real question is whether policy will keep up.
