Let’s Talk Autonomous Driving spoke with John Lopos, CEO of the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), to hear how the organization raises awareness about the risk of getting behind the wheel when we haven’t slept enough and how AVs could impact the future of mobility.

We’re highlighting the important and growing movement for Vision Zero: the goal to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries among all road users.

Every year, new teenage drivers get behind the wheel for the first time. If you’re a parent, this can be an exciting and scary achievement. Getting a driver’s license is a step toward independence, but driving-related crashes remain the leading cause of death for teenagers. How can we keep teen drivers safe on the road?

The United States has made great progress in preventing child fatalities from unintentional injuries. In fact, the U.S. childhood death rate from unintentional injury – or accidents that are preventable, like drowning or failure to use child safety restraints in vehicles– has been reduced by 61% since 1988.

In 2018, we shared our plans to work with Valley Metro, the Phoenix Metro area’s regional public transportation authority, to explore mobility solutions in a first-of-its-kind study that would use autonomous driving technology to complement the city’s existing transit network.

Let's Talk Autonomous Driving teamed up with SADD to discuss the importance of checking your mental health before getting behind the wheel.
