California, Florida and Nevada have already passed similar measures to support local innovators. This effort is a bid to publicize innovative Michigan-based companies who require more than their limited road testing. Manufactures have been discretely testing autonomous vehicles on Michigan roads for years, and this new legislation would establish guidelines and open the market for small and medium sized companies to begin creating new autonomous vehicle technology.

FordAVLast night Michigan’s Governor, Rick Snyder announced his support for autonomous vehicle licensing in the state. NCMS has been working with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to help the Midwest seize the lead in the development and deployment of robotic and autonomous vehicle technology.

The meeting between MDOT officials and NCMS Robotics Strategic Interest Group members at our October meeting helped to make this announcement possible. We are continuing to work with State officials as this proposed legislation moves towards adoption.

We have also invited the Governor speak at 2013 Michigan Robotics Day, that we are planning with the University of Michigan to be held on April 15 at the Jack Roth Club at Michigan Stadium. The agenda will include a full program of keynotes, ground and aerial demonstrations, a job fair, and an Unconference component to allow participants to suggest discussion topics. Pre-Register now for this great event!
