Driverless cars could remove 112 million drunk drivers from the road each year The average car is immobile for 96% of its lifetime In 2010, 35,000 people died in car accidents in the United States, down from 36,000 in 2009. If car deaths were put on a wall the size of the Vietnam Memorial, it would have to be rebuilt ever two years. Maximum capacity of a highway today: 2,400 vehicles per hour. Driverless cars could more than double that using existing infrastructure

Join us for AUVSI's Driverless Car Summit, and together we will take the first step toward achieving the next transportation revolution. The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, the world's largest nonprofit organization devoted exclusively to advancing the unmanned systems and robotics community, is working to ensure that driverless cars become a mainstream mode of transportation by 2022.
