Connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technologies represent the convergence of information and communication technologies (ICT) with automobiles, two of the most important technological advancements over the past century. A myriad of innovations in propulsion systems, connectivity and computation is fast paving the way for deployment of connected and autonomous self-driving cars in Canada and around the world. CAVs are poised to change the way by which people commute in urban environments, with impacts on cities, infrastructure, and our lives. They will invariably improve safety by reducing collisions, enhance transportation efficiency by mitigating the impact of traffic congestion, and benefit the environment by eliminating air pollutants. The proposed infrastructure will provide an experimentation platform enabling world-class research and technology development programs that will result in tangible technological, economic, social, health and environmental benefits to Canadians. In addition to improved safety and security, CAVs developed for extreme Canadian weather conditions will represent the first effort at achieving a technological breakthrough that has not been achieved to date. Moreover, the CAV ecosystem and market is global, and the results of the proposed research will enable Canadian companies to be more competitive on the global stage. It will enable us to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed schemes in practice to make sure that they are not only robust but also practical to implement. The platform will also provide the means for proof-of-concept demonstrations, technology transfer and commercialization. The platform will be used to train a large number of highly qualified personnel at the postgraduate and undergraduate level to serve the needs of the growing CAV industry in Canada.

互联和自动驾驶汽车(CAV)技术代表了信息和通信技术(ICT)与汽车的融合，这是过去一个世纪最重要的两项技术进步。推进系统、连通性和计算方面的无数创新正在为在加拿大和世界各地部署联网和自动驾驶汽车铺平道路。骑士车正准备改变人们在城市环境中的通勤方式，对城市、基础设施和我们的生活产生影响。它们将通过减少碰撞来提高安全性，通过缓解交通拥堵的影响来提高交通效率，通过消除空气污染物来造福环境。拟议的基础设施将提供一个实验平台，使世界级的研究和技术开发计划能够为加拿大人带来切实的技术、经济、社会、健康和环境效益。除了提高安全性和安全性外，针对加拿大极端天气条件开发的CAV将是实现迄今尚未实现的技术突破的第一次努力。此外，CAV生态系统和市场是全球性的，拟议的研究结果将使加拿大公司在全球舞台上更具竞争力。这将使我们能够评估拟议计划在实践中的可行性，以确保这些计划不仅稳健，而且切实可行。该平台还将提供概念验证演示、技术转让和商业化的手段。该平台将用于培养大量高素质的研究生和本科人才，以服务于加拿大不断增长的CAV行业的需求。
