September 20, 2018 at 03:01PM Route Fifty Introducing Resident-Centered Autonomous Vehicle Pilots
The Knight Foundation plans to invest $5.25 million over five years in resident-centered self-driving vehicle pilot projects in five cities.
Detroit, Long Beach and San José in California, Miami, and Pittsburgh will include locals in the autonomous vehicle, or AV, deployment planning process—as opposed to car companies coming in and owning the projects.
The pilot cities will confer regularly and share testing and deployment best practices publicly; there are already more than 70 AV pilots worldwide.
