Carnegie Mellon offered a glimpse into the future of traffic safety at the International Traffic Medicine Association (ITMA) conference in Doha. A pioneer in the area of autonomous vehicles, Carnegie Mellon celebrated 30 years of self-driving car technology last year. To date, CMU has created more than 140 technologies related to autonomous vehicles, many of which aim to decrease collisions and increase driver safety.

"The evolution of AV technology at Carnegie Mellon is a remarkable success story that epitomizes how innovation advances when engineers, roboticists and computer scientists collaborate," said Farnam Jahanian, CMU's provost.

At the ITMA conference, Carnegie Mellon Qatar showcased its autonomous vehicle technology on Q-SmartLab, the university’s Strategic Management Analysis Research & Training Lab. Q-SmartLab is an interface that enables researchers to create visual dashboards that organize and analyze information.
