Should Government Regulate Connected Cars? | Maureen Ohlhausen | TEDxWilmingtonSalon

Automobiles have transformed where and how we live, work, and vacation, as well as helped shape our culture. Now, in the face of disruptive innovation and societal benefit from automated cars, what road lies ahead for government and consumers? Maureen K. Ohlhausen was sworn in as a Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission on April 4, 2012, and was designated to serve as Acting FTC Chairman by President Donald Trump in January 2017. Prior to joining the Commission, she was a partner at Wilkinson Barker Knauer, LLP, where she focused on FTC issues, including competition law, privacy, and technology policy. Before coming to the FTC, she spent five years at the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, serving as a law clerk for Judge David B. Sentelle and as a staff attorney. Commissioner Ohlhausen graduated with distinction from Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University School of Law and with honors from the University of Virginia.
