The study funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation will allow TEES researchers to develop and test automated driving systems for rural roads without high-definition maps and with no or low-quality road signs or markings.
Leaders from Verily, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Texas A&M explained why rural America will be home to the greatest healthcare technology innovations in the near future.
