October is #PedestrianSafetyMonth, so it is a great time to look at how AV technology can make the roads safer for everyone, both in and out of the vehicle. 

Like drivers, automated safety features in vehicles rely on quick access to information about the environment in order to make driving decisions. Many PAVE members create products that collect, analyze, and interpret data to help vehicles drive safely and effectively.

In this panel, we chat with PAVE member GPR which creates subterranean maps to enable precise vehicle positioning – within a few centimeters – regardless of poor weather or visibility or faint road markings. 

GPR Co-Founder and CEO Tarik Bolat discusses how maps and sensors provide quick, accurate, reliable information to improve safety for all road users.
