The fifth session in our Autonomous Driving Series will explore roadway infrastructure in the age of driverless cars.
As autonomous vehicle technology continues to advance, smart infrastructure will need to keep pace. From arterial streets to high-speed, multimodal freeways, governments and private sector companies are actively responding to the changing infrastructure needs that this technology will require.
The US Department of Transportation (US DOT) has encouraged innovation in this area through its Smart Cities Challenge. Seventy-eight cities competed by proposing ways to integrate technology into future transportation projects. Columbus, Ohio was crowned the winner and awarded up to US$50 million in grants for their proposal, which included the use of connected infrastructure, electric vehicle charging stations and autonomous vehicles. This is just one example of the ways that cities across the country are being incentivized to consider substantial redevelopment and the investment that will be required in the wake of autonomous vehicles.
Our panel will include those seeking to influence and advance the development of autonomous roadway infrastructure. Panelists will share their thoughts on where the most recent technology and public policy considerations will lead us.
