Signed legislation allowing testing of automated motor vehicles on Michigan roadways has created a buzz of activity among manufacturers, technology geeks, community planners, transportation professionals and others. Driverless cars are expected on the sales lot in the next five years or so. As this innovation unfolds, what are policy makers, community planners and economy watch dogs to consider while thinking through secure infrastructure as well as a policy framework to support this innovation? What measures are being taken to accommodate this environmental change and cultural shift in our state? The February 15 forum will present where Michigan stands in self-driving technologies and regulation for autonomous vehicles while creating a vision of Michigan’s future with both driver and driverless autos on our roads.
