Experts: Driverless cars are here. What's next?
As companies including Waymo expand autonomous ride-hailing services into more cities, driverless vehicles are becoming an increasingly common part of everyday transportation.Ìý
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder experts are available to discuss the technology behind autonomous vehicles, public trust, safety, regulation and what wider adoption could mean for communities.
Driverless cars, transportation and public trust
Amir Behzadan, professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering and director of the Connected Informatics and Built Environment Research (CIBER) Lab, can discuss:
- How autonomous vehicles could reshape transportation, mobility and city infrastructure.
- The opportunities and challenges surrounding safety, regulation and public trust as driverless vehicles become more common.
- How cities and policymakers are preparing for autonomous transportation.

Driverless car technology and safety
Majid Zamani, associate professor of computer science, develops mathematically verified software designed to make autonomous vehicles safer and more reliable. He can discuss:
- How self-driving vehicles "see" and make decisions—and why edge cases remain one of the biggest engineering challenges.
- Why researchers are developing mathematically verified approaches to autonomous driving instead of relying solely on millions of miles of road testing.
- What's next for autonomous vehicle technology and the engineering advances needed before fully autonomous driving becomes commonplace.
