JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — You can now track the data from Jacksonville participants of a self-driving car pilot program as they test automated driving systems on the road using an online tool.
It’s part of the the Automated Vehicle Transparency and Engagement for Safe Testing (AV TEST) Initiative, an autonomous vehicle pilot program being tested in Jacksonville and 16 other cities across the country.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is overseeing the program.
NHTSA Deputy Administrator James Owens believes the more information the public has about the on-road testing of self-driving cars, “the more they will understand the development of this promising technology. "
“Automated driving systems are not yet available for sale to the public, and the AV TEST Initiative will help improve public understanding of the technology’s potential and limitations as it continues to develop,” Owens said.
The public can view the online tool here: www.nhtsa.gov/avtest.
The tool has data for on-road testing activities in the following cities:
- Jacksonville
- Orlando.
- Austin
- Columbus
- Phoenix
- Pittsburgh
- Salt Lake City
- San Francisco
- Washington, D.C.
