11 a.m. – 12 p.m. PT
In an era where highly automated vehicles (AVs) are transitioning from visionary concepts to components of our urban landscape, the conversation around their safe and efficient deployment and integration into existing transportation systems becomes paramount. Our upcoming webinar seeks to bridge the gap between technical safety and the broader implications of AV operations within city environments. We aim to explore the multifaceted challenges and opportunities presented by AVs, extending our discussion beyond mere functionality to encompass the policies and practices necessary for harmonious city integration. By bringing together experts and stakeholders, we hope to shed light on regulatory gaps, data collection needs, and the best practices that can guide cities towards sustainable and safe AV deployment.
