Stanford opened its doors in 1891, and more than a century later, it remains dedicated to finding solutions to the great challenges of the day and to preparing its students for leadership in today's complex world. The university is located between San Francisco and San Jose in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Legal Aspects of Autonomous Driving Program
