  1. State initiative to design ‘road of the future’ connecting Detroit and Ann Arbor

    The first phase of the project is a feasibility assessment to test technology and explore the viability of a 40+-mile driverless vehicle corridor featuring lanes that support transit and shared mobility options in addition to private vehicles between Downtown Detroit and Ann Arbor.

Now, a U-M research team has stepped in to help identify solutions.
