MSU and US Army launch new mobility research initiative

Michigan State University and the U.S. Army Ground Vehicle Systems Center, or GVSC, launched a new mobility research initiative as part of a five-year research program to advance autonomous ground vehicle research with Central Michigan University and the University of Michigan. MSU Mobility research is focused on developing integrated systems of communication and control for automated vehicles and their environments. “The partnership between MSU and GVSC will conduct critical research that will help ensure the United States is a leader in autonomous vehicle technology for years to come,” said Rep. John Moolenaar in a video message. “This incredible partnership will help our state continue to play a critical leadership role in the future of mobility. “I was proud to help pass the federal resources needed to kick-start this research initiative, which will bolster MSU and GVSC’s long-running efforts to take ground vehicle technologies to new heights and keep our military on the cutting-edge.”
