On March 13, 2026, our team at Sky-Lab demonstrated our remote-driving research to Eva Lerner-Lam, a member of the National Academy of Engineering and founder and president of Palisades Consulting Group, during her visit to UW–Madison.

Eva explored how a driver can interact with a research vehicle through a steering-wheel control station and live computer interface, and experienced the remote-driving system firsthand. We also introduced the autonomous-driving simulator and discussed the technologies supporting remotely operated and autonomous vehicles.

More about the visit is available in Prof. David Noyce’s post.
