Intro

The autonomous vehicle (AV) future is coming, but what that will look like and how soon it will arrive is yet to be seen.

One of the first steps in the US will be the connected autonomous vehicle corridor – or CAV corridor – on I-94 in Southeast Michigan, linking university town Ann Arbor with long-time manufacturing hub Detroit.

In this episode of Voices of the Industry Megan Brock, Senior Strategy Manager at Cavnue, and Toni Feather, Associate at Steer, discuss the revolutionary concept of CAV corridors and how this new digital infrastructure will transform road safety, congestion and the future of autonomous vehicles across North America.

An essential listen for those in transportation, infrastructure, and technology sectors, the episode highlights the partnership between Cavnue and the Michigan Department of Transportation as well as the role of Steer in bringing this smart infrastructure to life.
