Lexus' announcement last month was very safety centric: http://www.popsci.com/cars/article/2013-01/ces-2013-lexus-unveils-autonomou… If you're not limited to peer reviewed journals, you will probably find plenty of articles from California and Nevada news media, since both states have passed legislation allowing the use of autonomous vehicles.

[H+T--Friends] VMT/Traffic Density Analysis Inquiry

by Megan Wier

Hi everyone, I am writing on behalf of Rajiv Bhatia with an inquiry re: whether people working at MPOs have quantified, modeled or mapped VMT or traffic density at a smaller area/sub-city level. If you have, could you please email me directly (megan.wier(a)sfdph.org) with some details regarding this work and your data source(s)? If you have not but have plans to do so and/or the data available to do so, I would be most interested in hearing about it as well. For some background regarding this approach and implications for health, please see the attached article. Thanks so much in advance - Best, Megan (See attached file: Rioux_UrbanTrafficExposures_JUrbanHealth_2010].pdf) *** Please note that I am in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Thank you! *** ------------------------------------------------------------- Megan L.
