CAVCOE (formerly the Canadian Automated Vehicles Centre of Excellence) provides consulting services,
education. information, analyses,
and recommendations to the public and private sectors on planning for the deployment of self-driving vehicles of all kinds.
The team members are very well networked and are very active in
Canada and internationally in relationship building and knowledge
transfer.
There are three components to what we do: consulting, education,
and advocacy.
Consulting
We help organizations:
-
Identify
business opportunities in the hardware, software, and service
aspects of CAVs and help them develop these opportunities.
-
Assess how
suppliers can adapt their business plans to take advantage of
CAVs and/or minimize any downsides. This includes assessing
their business strategy, and operational and revenue models.
-
CAVCOE
collaborates with research organizations and funders to
conduct studies that will improve the development and
deployment of CAVs.
-
Assist users
and potential users determine whether to use CAVs and if so,
develop a plan and assist with the deployment.
-
Support
governments at all levels in developing policies, strategies
and plans around CAVs
-
Identifying
possible future business models or strategies that can
maximize the benefits and mitigate the downsides when CAVs are
deployed.
Education
-
CAVCOE publicizes the progress being made on CAVs, the challenges,
the current status and the expected deployment schedule. CAVCOE
also specializes in the impact of CAVs on transportation,
business, government, and society as a whole. There are several
ways we do this.
-
CAVCOE provides speakers for many different types of events across
Canada, the US and overseas. The audiences include the general
public as well as industry-specific organizations. On the one
hand, our keynotes and presentations have core messaging on the
status of CAVs, their deployment scenarios, and the impact on
business plans, government regulations, and almost all aspects of
society. On the other hand, each presentation is customized for
the audience and the time available. To enquire about a speaker
