We were excited to join the WisDOT Safer Together Community Event at Rennebohm Park on August 26, 2026. From 3:00 to 7:00 p.m., our team at Sky-Lab shared remote-driving and autonomous vehicle research with community members of all ages.

At our remote vehicle operation station, visitors explored how a driver can interact with a research vehicle through a steering-wheel control setup and live computer interface. We also displayed our autonomous research vehicle and discussed how connected, automated, and remotely operated technologies can support safer and more accessible transportation.

More details about the event and its transportation safety partners are available in WisDOT’s official report. 🚐
