Autonomous Vehicle Technology Symposium
This series examines Atlanta's transportation challenges to inform city and regional planning efforts through 2026.
The Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and Georgia Tech’s Center for Urban Research invite transportation researchers and professionals to participate in a symposium on autonmous vehicle technology.
This convening will bring together experts to engage in a substantive discussion on the role of autonmous vehicle technology in regional and city planning. We’ll discuss where we are, likely futures, and the pros/cons of this evolving space. The session will feature short lightning talks by invited experts, followed by a moderated panel discussion designed to surface policy insights. Insights from the seminar will help inform both the City of Atlanta’s forthcoming Comprehensive Transportation Plan and ARC’s Metropolitan Transportation Plan efforts.
We look forward to a candid, expert-driven conversation that bridges research, practice, and policy to shape the future of autonomous vehicle technology in the region.
