Connected and Automated Vehicles: Help Shape the Future of Travel in Maryland

Take Maryland Department of Transportation’s Self-driving Vehicle Survey Today!

From Our Partners

By Kristen E. Humphrey, MLA, Local Assistance and Training Planner  

Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), sometimes called self-driving or driverless vehicles, are an important consideration for the future of travel in Maryland and may become a part of everyday life sooner than we might think. 

Many of us are already driving cars with advanced technologies, such as remote sensors, cameras, navigation, and/or braking systems using artificial intelligence (AI), that may contribute to innovations leading to fully autonomous vehicles. What remains unknown, however, is just exactly how self-driving vehicles should fit into our existing transportation systems. This is where you can help guide the next steps!

Take Maryland Department of Transportation’s Self-driving Vehicle Survey Today!

From Our Partners 

by Kristen E. Humphrey, MLA, Local Assistance and Training Planner 

Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), sometimes called self-driving or driverless vehicles, are an important consideration for the future of travel in Maryland and may become a part of everyday life sooner than we might think.

Many of us are already driving cars with advanced technologies, such as remote sensors, cameras, navigation, and/or braking systems using artificial intelligence (AI), that may contribute to innovations leading to fully autonomous vehicles. What remains unknown, however, is just exactly how self-driving vehicles should fit into our existing transportation systems. This is where you can help guide the next steps! 

As a primary stakeholder in the Statewide Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) program, the Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) wants to hear what Marylanders have to say about CAV technology, so together we can plan for a future that meets everyone’s mobility needs.  

Please take the 10-minute anonymous survey. Responses gathered will help MDOT SHA develop a strategy for increasing public awareness of CAV-related technologies, plan for a future of travel with self-driving vehicles, and help keep Maryland a great place to live, work, and play. You can also take the survey by phone 877-379-9299. The survey will remain open until May 13, 2022. 

For more information about this survey, please contact SHACAV@mdot.maryland.gov. Want to know what else Maryland is doing in the realm of self-driving vehicles? Visit the Maryland’s CAV program website.
