Learn how bicyclists are reacting to the introduction of autonomous vehicles to the roadways of Pittsburgh and how researchers at Carnegie Mellon are ensuring that autonomous vehicles will contribute to safer roadways for all users.

Highly automated vehicles will revolutionize the movement of people of goods. How can we leverage data, partnerships, and policy to *ensure* that streets will become increasingly safe places to bike and walk? This panel will discuss innovative partnerships that have been launched to explore the future of bike and car interactions. The panelists will offer suggestions of forward-thinking policies, infrastructure, and strategies to advocate for today in your hometown.

Eric Boerer led Bike Pittsburgh in administering the first survey of bike riders who share the road with automated vehicles. To pull it off, he partnered with the Western PA Regional Data Center, and the survey itself led to a collaboration with Uber.

Ngani Ndimbie, a former Bike Pittsburgh communications manager turned graduate student, is studying transportation policy at Carnegie Mellon – a school with a 30 year old self-driving car project. Compiling strategies for future proofing safe streets is her latest passion.
