A globally unique trial will soon be getting underway in Michigan, with the creation of a 60-kilometer-long corridor specifically dedicated to autonomous vehicles. The idea is to provide them with all the infrastructure necessary to ensure optimal interconnectivity, as well as perfectly safe and fluid traffic.
Cavnue is in charge of this first-ever connected corridor project between downtown Detroit and the university town of Ann Arbor. Cavnue is an entity founded by Sidewalk Infrastructure Partners (SIP), which counts Google parent company Alphabet as an investor, alongside OTPP and StepStone. Through its Waymo subsidiary, Google has been involved in the development of fully autonomous vehicles for over a decade.
