From Contra Costa to the National Stage: Advancing Connected and Automated Mobility Together
Automated Driving Systems Operator Panel Discussion | Society of Automative Engineers (SAE) Automated Transportation Symposium
CCTA continues to set the pace nationally for how regional innovation can define the future of mobility. CCTA’s forward-thinking vision for cooperative driving automation, connected infrastructure, and real-world pilot deployments is exactly what the industry needs right now. As CCTA’s technology and integration partner, AMG is proud to help bring that vision to life — supporting projects that merge data, infrastructure, and automation into safer, smarter systems.
That same spirit of collaboration and innovation carried onto the national stage, where CCTA joined industry and public-sector leaders at the SAE ADS roundtable to explore the real-world data, interoperability, and infrastructure needs shaping the future of autonomous mobility.
The SAE roundtable centered on the real-world data needs of AV operators navigating work zones, weather disruptions, and temporary closures. Public agencies, private AV developers, and infrastructure owners came together to discuss how data quality, interoperability, and real-time communication shape safety and efficiency. Conversations explored what data AVs truly need to operate safely, what tools and standards already exist to share information more effectively, and how trust can be built through consistent, transparent data exchange.
The group shared a common goal—closing the gap between the data infrastructure owners provide and what AVs actually need—while identifying practical ways to improve decision-making and collaboration. It was an insightful and forward-looking discussion that highlighted just how much progress is possible when the industry comes together to problem-solve.
