Supports helping to ensure Ontario remains a global leader in the connected and automated vehicle industry by supporting innovative pilot programs – like consulting on adding new vehicle types such as automated farm vehicles, and removing certain restrictions around modified automated vehicles
ZEV standards can take on different forms, but all are designed to require vehicle producers to sell a minimum number of zero-emission vehicles in all markets, with some kind of sliding scale that increases the minimum over time.
All test data will be collected for research — and all personal details like faces and license plates will be obscured. Explanatory signs are posted near the cameras, but anyone with questions can check out the website at citm.ca/dtpr.
BlackBerry IVY Innovation Fund portfolio companies will also have access to up to $100,000 in Amazon Web Services (AWS) credits through AWS Activate, a program that has helped hundreds of thousands of early stage startups accelerate their growth and development. This includes access to the Activate Console, a self-service platform that connects startups to insights, technical guidance, and more to help them build their businesses.

The Ontario Centre of Innovation (OCI), formerly known as Ontario Centres of Excellence, is working with Ernst & Young (EY) as part of its Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Network (AVIN) initiative to conduct a labour market study for key segments of the automotive and mobility sector. As a part of this work, we are looking to understand current and expected trends in the automotive and mobility sector’s labour market, as well as key challenges faced by employers in finding quality talent. Findings from the survey will inform OCI’s work related to developing skills and talent strategy to support Ontario’s automotive and mobility sector.
The AVIN project will extend the core capabilities of Transoft’s automated road safety solutions to allow collision courses between road users to be predicted in real-time so that potential crashes can be detected in advance and avoided. And to further enhance the prediction accuracy and computation efficiency, AI will be moved from the cloud to the edge to accelerate advanced collision warning time for users. Additionally, by monitoring and understanding the patterns of these near-misses, a system for forecasting long-term safety problems will also be included. This data informs planners when allocating road safety budgets and solutions.
China leads in battery production and overall ranking. Germany and France move up to second and third place. Electric vehicle sales rise in Germany, France, Italy and South Korea.
Invision AI, Thales and Metrolinx are building unique sensing and computing capabilities that provide enhanced situational awareness to existing rail systems and are capable of operating in severe winter conditions. The goal of this partnership is to build a platform that will ultimately enable deployments in urban, regional and mainline rail networks globally.
Under the plan, VW will aim to have an interest in six battery plants in Europe by 2030 at a cost of around $29 billion, according to estimates by BloombergNEF.
This analysis represents a snapshot of one specific operating environment. Should the promising results eventually extend beyond Chandler’s borders to more complex roads, broad safety goals may indeed be achieved.
As Europe’s transport sector pursues the sustainability objectives outlined in the European Commission’s Green Deal, the digital integration of transport modes enabled by the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) concept can support this.
Once selected, businesses will receive autonomous driving preferred startup status which provides numerous benefits.
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) buses cost half compared to electric buses and have a similar fuel price as diesel. Diesel buses can be replaced 1-for-1 with RNG without compromising performance. Like diesel, RNG operates during freezing weather conditions and refuelling takes minutes, not hours. This demonstrates that municipalities can have carbon-neutral transit today without sacrificing performance, reliability or range.
