What role will artificial intelligence play in transportation?

The gathering attracts a number of policymakers, newsmakers and transportation industry stakeholders – including Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg – who take stock of what’s happening on our nation’s roadways and look at areas that could benefit from more research. Artificial intelligence was a big talking point, as Charles Sperry of the OOIDA Foundation discovered. He joins us to talk about what he heard.
