Greg Rodriguez and Josh Harrouch of LaDOTD discuss the first Louisiana Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Day on PAVEcast
{
"text": "
PAVEcast is the official podcast of Partners for Automated Vehicle Education (PAVE), a nonprofit coalition working to raise the level of public knowledge about autonomous vehicle technology.
PAVEcast interviewed Greg Rodriguez of Stantec and Josh Harrouch of the Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development to discuss the Louisiana CAV Innovation Day, a first-of-its-kind event taking place on April 30 in Baton Rouge. This pioneering effort showcases Louisiana’s commitment to advancing CAV technology and sets a precedent for other states to follow. By setting the stage for collaboration and providing attendees with valuable knowledge about the latest CAV advancements, the event offers valuable education and creates positive momentum to inspire other states to organize similar events and build their own CAV ecosystems.
Tune in to learn more about the event, who should attend, and what you can expect to take away.
