PAVEcast: "All AVs Are Local: Iowa’s Automated Rural Shuttle"
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most AV research focuses on urban and suburban areas, where the technology could improve congestion or other urban mobility challenges. But how might driving automation improve the lives of rural Americans? That is the question that the University of Iowa’s National Advanced Driver Simulator seeks to answer with their “ADS for Rural America” automated shuttle project. In this PAVEcast episode, we welcome leaders of this project to find out what they’ve learned about the challenges and opportunities facing rural automated mobility.
Guests
- Omar Ahmad – Deputy Director, National Advanced Driver Simulator
