"“What sets Florida apart is the number of laws,” says Bryant Walker Smith, a professor of law who studies AVs at the University of South Carolina. Walker Smith says that Florida has passed a series of low-profile pieces of legislation that have kept the state out of the headlines, while also signalling to manufacturers that Florida is open for business. Legislators continuously revisit these laws, chiseling them into more specific policy and offering explicit legal clarity on the state’s position regarding AVs. As a result, Walker Smith says, “Florida has managed to go from a state with no real [AV] activity to a state with a fair amount of activity.”"
