AUTONOMOUS FLORIDA

“Autonomous Florida, a program of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, is working to ensure that Florida continues leading the way in automated, connected, electric and shared vehicles. Our vision is to make Florida the Mobility Innovation Capital of the World.

Building on past successes, Autonomous Florida, a program of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, is working to ensure Florida is the welcoming state in the world for autonomous vehicles.

Florida is nationally known for its welcoming approach to autonomous vehicles. Our pro-business regulatory climate is second to none.

Florida continues to invest record amounts in our infrastructure, with seven straight years of $10+ billion funding towards our state Department of Transportation. Florida’s infrastructure is consistently A-rated.

Florida has adopted welcoming policies for ride-sharing providers, 5G deployment and personal delivery devices. Our communities and universities are entering into dozens of autonomous-focused partnerships with the private sector.

The Florida Chamber of Commerce’s Autonomous Florida brings together businesses, industry experts, and policymakers to secure Florida’s autonomous future by focusing on three key areas:

AN AUTONOMOUS-FRIENDLY REGULATORY CLIMATE

Florida is internationally known for its welcoming approach to autonomous vehicles. With the support of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, Florida has passed a series of substantial, forward-thinking laws that have opened up public roads for this revolution and modernized Florida’s infrastructure planning to include the future of autonomy. Autonomous vehicles have been lawfully allowed on Florida’s highways since 2012. For years, the private sector has partnered with the Florida Department of Transportation to ensure that Florida’s future infrastructure needs are being built today. As technology changes, it is vital for the business community to speak in a unified voice to maintain our competitive advantage. In addition to favorable transportation policies, Florida must continue to work towards greater data connectivity in order to create a welcoming environment for cutting edge cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Autonomous Florida will continue to advocate for small cell deployments to bring 5G to the next generation of mobile computing and robotics.

BUSINESS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

In this fast paced environment, factual and timely information about technology, policy, and emerging business opportunities is essential. Autonomous Florida provides an open industry forum for information exchanges that help provide the cutting edge political framework, research and business opportunities crucial for this industry to thrive. It is not just our goal for the next generation of robotics to be created in Florida; Autonomous Florida creates business opportunities for new technologies like Personal Delivery Devices to be deployed profitably throughout our state. Through collaboration with industry leaders, the Florida Chamber’s Autonomous Florida program is helping bring these new technologies to the public.

Autonomy is more than just vehicles, it is the systems that allow these technologies to thrive. Florida is a national leader in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and robotics. The Autonomous Florida program will continue to advocate for favorable policies, legislation, regulations, research, strong investments and a thriving business community in the fields of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and robotics.

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH

Florida’s universities, testing facilities, and businesses are preparing now for the next generation of industry needs. From the SunTrax test track, strategically located off I-4 between Orlando and Tampa, to Jacksonville’s Ultimate Urban Circulator, communities across Florida are partnering with businesses to solve tomorrow’s problems today. With the backing of Florida’s business community, Autonomous Florida will help make Florida the place where artificial intelligence meets the roadway.

Combined with industry specific workforce initiatives, Florida is poised to embrace emerging technologies from both the testing and implementation perspectives. Our students will become the next generation of cloud computing and robotics engineers. The Florida Chamber’s Autonomous Florida will work to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s workplace needs.
