The past few years have seen increased interest in self-driving technologies. Miami is at the forefront of autonomous mobility and has become a prime location for testing and development. The Miami Engineering Autonomous Mobility Initiative (MEAMI) at the University of Miami College of Engineering and industry partners is focused on advancing electric aircraft that can take off and land vertically or on short runways. MEAMI's goal is to create a form of transportation that is efficient, quiet, safe, affordable, and well-received by the public.
The Advanced Autonomous Mobility Workshop will include discussions on the development of autonomous mobility technology, and what policy changes are needed to introduce self-driving vehicles into society. The workshop will also explore effective ways to educate the public, train workers, and build the necessary infrastructure for autonomous vehicles.
