ITFVHA explained

What is ITFVHA?

Founder Richard Bishop created ITFVHA “back in the day” as government sponsored automated driving projects were gaining momentum. After 25 meetings, the torch was passed on to Tom Alkim. The meeting has become an annual opportunity to collaborate and share perspectives across the diverse players in this thriving space.

The purpose of this invitation-only meeting is to provide a forum for information exchange and discussion among researchers, government officials, and the private sector regarding ongoing programs to develop and deploy automated driving. The task force uniquely takes a “big picture” approach, knowing that technical symposia regularly address the technological underpinnings of such systems, and examines ways in which the government authorities, the infrastructure, and the vehicle industry can collaborate/cooperate to most effectively offer these services to society.
