General Motors and Carnegie Mellon University are working hard to make the car of the future the car of today. Since 2000, the world’s largest automaker has contributed over $16 million to establish two Collaborative Research Labs at the university for Information Technologies and Autonomous Driving.
“Technologies ranging from electronics, controls and software to wireless capabilities and digital mapping could ultimately change how people drive and use their vehicles,” said Larry Burns, GM vice president of R&D and Strategic Planning. “The work we’re doing with Carnegie Mellon could ultimately make this a reality.”
