Connecting User, Vehicle,
Road
Bridging Research & Institutional Expertise
Two Paths that will Converge
Automated driving Connected vehicles
Connected Vehicles
Vehicle to vehicle (V2V)• Active safety systems that can assist drivers in preventing 76 percent of the crashes
Vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) Vehicle to anything (V2X) including pedestrians
Vision
We envision a collision‐free future where people have access to automated and connected transportation to transform how they live, work and interact with their environment
Key Vision Concepts
Society benefits from connected automation convergence Inclusive of all modes Research on vehicles and infrastructure as and human beings interacting Policy is cross cutting need Test beds (closed and open road) are critical for research Private sector relationships are vital
