What is the Texas CAV Task Force?

On January 22, 2019, with the support of Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas Department of Transportation announced it was creating a Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) Task Force to become a central point for CAV advancement in Texas. “With our world-class universities, top-notch workforce and startup culture, Texas is a national leader in the development of new technologies,” said Governor Abbott. “As transportation technology advances, the CAV Task Force will ensure that the Lone Star State remains at the forefront of innovation.”

This website has been developed with the goal of receiving and sharing information from a wide variety of participants in the field of Connected and Automated Transportation. We encourage your review of the materials and welcome your contributions and ideas for continuing to develop an information repository that supports the wide breadth of activities in the state of Texas.
