Autonomous Trucks
The Rural Automated Driving Systems (ADS) project specifically focuses on how automated vehicles operate in rural areas as they navigate curving, and hilly terrain. DriveOhio Executive Director Preeti Choudary told Fox Business the state’s automated vehicle testing is designed to help Ohio understand how to improve vehicle safety and efficiency in rural communities. "This critical work will provide valuable information to help advance the safe integration of automated vehicle technologies in Ohio and across the nation." Choudhary said DriveOhio hopes to change those outcomes through the automated vehicle deployments underway. Governor John Husted, who heads InnovateOhio, told FoxBusiness the state’s automated vehicle testing builds on already implemented innovations.
