The automotive industry is in the midst of a technological evolution — taking the connected and autonomous vehicle from concept to reality.
However, along with innovation comes a lot of unchartered territory. The Butzel Long Connected Car Symposium will navigate some of that territory by presenting expert insight on topics including intellectual property, deal making, contractual issues, regulatory and legislative developments, hacking and tracking, data ownership and privacy issues.
The program, in partnership with the Original Equipment Suppliers Association and DBusiness magazine will take place from 7:30 a.m. to noon Feb. 18 at the Madison Building, located at 1555 Broadway St. in Detroit. The cost is $75, which includes breakfast and lunch.
