A 2017 INRIX Autonomous Vehicle study rated New Orleans as the number one most suitable city in the United States for autonomous technologies.
Whether it's self-driving buses in New Orleans, Port NOLA operations and truck platooning along the I10 corridor, or autonomous transit vehicles in Baton Rouge, southern Louisiana has the potential to become one of the nation's leading innovation centers for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV)s.
Join your municipal colleagues and national and local experts at a full-day "Connected and Autonomous Vehicle 101" National Roadshow to explore the key aspects of the Autonomous Vehicle Economy and the infrastructure and policy changes that satellite cities, small towns and rural communities in southern Louisiana and the New Orleans - Baton Rouge - Lafayette I10 corridor will need to consider in order to take advantage of coming electrification and self-driving technologies.
