Award winning innovation!

We’re proud to announce that we have received the inaugural Australian Driverless Vehicle Initiative (ADVI) Innovation Award for our work on progressing the introduction of driverless vehicles to Australian roads.

From establishing legislation to enable trials on our roads, to conducting our first automated shuttle trial at Homebush, and continuing our research with industry partners - we’re closer to a world where driverless vehicles could be an everyday reality!

The award recognises not only innovation in automated vehicles, but importantly, the collaborative effort required from both industry and government to deliver these initiatives.

A big congratulations goes out to a number of teams - including the Transport Policy Branch, Smart Innovation Centre, Future Transport Centre for Road Safety, Legal Services, Innovation, Research and Reform, Roads and Maritime Services and Crashlab - for working together to make this happen.

Go team!



The award was presented by The Honourable Melinda Pavey, Minister for Roads, Ports and Freight and Rita Excell, Executive Director, ADVI.
