Transportation is making major moves toward a future system of vehicles wireless communicating with each other and eventually driving themselves to avoid accidents and save lives. These connected automated vehicles are a major part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) research agenda. Thus, several USDOT leaders and staff participated in the recent 2015 Automated Vehicles Symposium (AVS 2015) held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to discuss this hot topic within the transportation industry. The National Academies Transportation Research Board (TRB) and Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) partner together to host the annual automated vehicle event, now in its fourth year. The symposium focuses on the impact, benefits, challenges, and risks of increasingly automated road vehicles and the environments in which they operate. AVS 2015 was held from July 21 through 23 and brought together key government, industry, and academic experts from around the world to identify opportunities
