Join Autotech Council members for this meeting which will mimic the focus areas of the DoT Challenge, but we'll talk about it also from the perspective of the existing automotive industry, and Silicon Valley-type technology vendors. It's going to take a lot of partnerships and mutually beneficial inventions to make the smart city a success.
Agenda, Attendee List and Presentations are available to members in the PRESENTATION LIBRARY
Smart Cities are hot! The US DoT just concluded it's Smart Cities Challenge, where seven finalist cities were being considered. The DoT will spend $40 million, topped up by $10 million from Vulcan Ventures, and $90 million in funding directly from the city. The DoT noted that all finalist cities are likely to move forward on their own, so a push can also be expected in San Francisco, Denver, Austin, Pittsburgh, Kansas City MO, and Portland.
So what are the innovations we can expect to see develop?
Our AC meeting will mimic the focus areas of the DoT Challenge, but we'll talk about it also from the perspective of the existing automotive industry, and Silicon Valley-type technology vendors. It's going to take a lot of partnerships and mutually beneficial inventions to make the smart city a success. Join 100+ Autotech Council members, OEMs, vendors, startups and VCs at our Smart Cities meeting to meet others working towards these goals.
