Autonomous Systems Technology is a large mega-trend which will affect large parts of the transportation world. Very few people need to know the details of the Artificial Intelligence or Sensor technologies which are central to autonomy. However, many people need to know the high level framing of this world to do their job. With these objectives in mind, SAE and Dr.Rahul Razdan, a well-known expert in autonomy, have built an on-line (4 one-hour session) structured course to address these needs. The course is particularly effective for enterprises who want to bring their staff up-to-speed on this important technology. Examples include:

1. DoT and City Planning: Infrastructure design and planning requires an understanding of the coming autonomy eco-system.
2. Civil Engineering Firms: Future projects will require stretching into electronics, computer science, and a new development chain.
3. Insurance and Legal: How are accidents going to be handled in the future?
4. Automotive Sales: How does one address consumer questions around ADAS or AV?

"Our entire Automation and Innovation Division at the Jacksonville Transportation Authority took the ‘AVs for Transportation Professionals’ course. The course was invaluable in calibrating our entire team to the same level. Our team consisted of newcomers as well as seasoned engineers and everyone walked away from this course having a fuller understanding of autonomous technology, regulation, markets, and challenges,"   Bernard Schmidt, VP Automation at Jacksonville Transportation Authority.
