Title: “Preserving Liberty, Promoting Innovation: Privacy Issues in Intelligent Transportation Systems, What’s the Big Deal?”
Speaker: Atinuke (Tinu) O. Diver, Esq., Office of Chief Counsel, US Department of Transportation, Research and Innovative Technology Administration, John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center

Abstract:
For over a decade, the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has prompted discussion among legal and non-legal communities regarding the issue of privacy. Considering the extent to which
we willingly give up our privacy throughout the course of our day-to-day lives, some argue that the privacy issues related to ITS are “not really a big deal” and are made “a bigger deal” than they really are. Can reasonable minds differ? The objective of this presentation is to examine current trends in law, policy, and technology applications in multi-modal transportation contexts to respond to the question: “What is the big deal about privacy and ITS?” Topics for discussion include: How should the parties involved in the creation, development, deployment/use, sale, and regulation of ITS think about privacy issues? What should we think about? What role do attorneys play in keeping clients “privacy-minded” without stifling creativity and innovation?
