Our vision is to bring the safety benefits of autonomous driving to all Americans. Automated Driving Systems (ADS) has the potential to improve safety throughout the roadway system. However, the current deployment efforts have focused on large cities (excluding more than 20% of Americans fropm access to the safety benefits of this technology). Accordingly, this project will focus on rural roads and our goal is to develop a systematic and scalable approach to the safe integration of cooperative automated vehicles (CAVs) into the nation’s transportation system.
