"MDOT's Pilot Project Transforms I-94 into a Cutting-Edge Connected and Automated Vehicle Lane"

Construction has begun on a pilot project in Wayne County, Michigan, to build the "world's most sophisticated roadway," featuring a connected and automated vehicle travel lane on Interstate 94. Equipped with digital infrastructure, the lane aims to improve safety, congestion, and accessibility. The project is a partnership between the Michigan Department of Transportation and technology firm Cavnue, and it is expected to be privately funded. The pilot program will be followed by six additional phases, ultimately creating a self-driving vehicle corridor between Ann Arbor and Detroit.
