The American Center for Mobility (ACM) outside Detroit has commissioned a workforce study to evaluate the impact of connected and autonomous vehicles on driving-related jobs, including taxi operators and delivery and long-haul truck drivers.
Michigan State University will lead the study, which also aims to identify how to best train workers to prepare for emerging transportation technologies. Texas A&M Transportation Institute will support the program based on its research in truck platooning.
The results will be shared this summer. Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo self-driving car unit and the American Assn. of Retired Persons are co-sponsoring the study.
In October, ACM signed a memorandum of understanding with 15 colleges and universities in Michigan to collaborate on creating curricula to help train and prepare students to support automated vehicle testing and implementation.
