Researchers from Autonomoose joined the Ontario Premier AV testing event on November 8, 2017 at Stratford. The premier event was to launch a testing zone for driverless cars, which is a part of a five-year, $80-million commitment by the province to establish the Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Network (AVIN) to advance research and development in the field.
Professor Krzysztof Czarnecki and eight other student researchers showcased our Autonomoose car at the event.
