Tuesday October 15, 6-7pm
Bedford Public Library
McAllaster room
This
meeting is being held to generate awareness of the large economic
impact for the state of New Hampshire that could be generated by
Autonomous Vehicle (AV) testing. We will explain how it can generate
high-paying long-term jobs, and what needs to be done at the grass-roots
level to make this happen.
A
short presentation will be given followed by a discussion regarding the
preparation of legislation for New Hampshire that will allow the
testing of Autonomous Vehicles on New Hampshire roads, similar to what
is being done in Nevada.
The
only state in the nation that currently allows AV testing is Nevada.
New Hampshire is a much more realistic location for this activity
because we have more challenging driving conditions due to our extreme
weather variations and our vast range of road types, traffic patterns,
etc. We also have a much larger pool of highly skilled technical talent
and our location is very attractive to industry because of our proximity
to the Boston area.
ps: I will attend the New Hampshire TechFest (Saturday, October 12, 2013). If you would like to meet-up there,
let me know, I'd be glad to chat.
