The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

The paths of two vehicles in Madison last week highlighted the livesaving potential of driverless cars.

On the UW-Madison campus, a computer-driven shuttle bus gave curious students and the public free rides. Passengers said the French-made Navya shuttle, which uses a high-definition map and multiple cameras to guide its way, felt safe and futuristic. The shuttle moved at about 10 mph, abiding by traffic signs and stopping for bicycles and pedestrians.

UW’s Automated Vehicle Proving Grounds is one of 10 federally designated labs testing autonomous vehicle technology, a distinction Wisconsin should be proud of, and which could lead to spinoff businesses and jobs.
