These three locations are leading the charge to deploy advanced wireless communications technology in their vehicles and on their roads in regions throughout the nation. The web sites provide information on each area’s unique transportation challenges, plans for connected vehicle deployment, deployment partnerships, promotional materials, and more.
To help the public visualise their research and to recruit participants, each of the pilot sites has also unveiled new videos showcasing their deployments. Wyoming and Tampa have each produced one video profiling their work, and New York City has produced three videos, %$Linker: 2External<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />000oLinkExternalPart 1falsehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxu29Qbs-zItruefalse%>, %$Linker: 2External<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />000oLinkExternalPart 2falsehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xL8vlJ5IcYfalsefalse%> and %$Linker: 2External<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />000oLinkExternalPart 3falsehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWPn-Tyd3swfalsefalse%>.

AID-Autonomous Intelligent Driving, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Audi, is partnering with Luminar Technologies to deploy LiDAR products.
Launched in March last year, AID has an autonomous vehicle (AV) test fleet in Munich and bills itself as the ‘centre of excellence’ for urban autonomous driving in the Volkswagen Group.
Luminar LiDARs will be installed on the roof of the AVs to give a 360-degree field of view.

Columbus, Ohio has been named City of the Year in the Smart Cities Dive website’s awards for its work on transit and electrification.
The US city won the US Department of Transportation’s inaugural Smart City Challenge two years ago – and is rolling out a variety of smart city-related programmes.
Smart Cities Dive said the city’s “biggest area of progress this year” has been its increased reliance on electric vehicles (EVs), including in its bus fleet and other government vehicles.

Lime and its competitors Tier and Voi have formed the Nordic Micromobility Association to promote safety standards for electric scooters.
The association will seek to strengthen relationships between Nordic cities and micromobility businesses as well as reduce emissions.
Earlier this year, Voi announced its plans to launch e-scooters in Lisbon as part of a wider ambition to expand in Europe.
The association’s members are not the only companies working to improve the safety of e-scooters. Last ye
