An economic development organization Tuesday approved the formation of the Center for Advanced Mobility, part of a state initiative to place Nevada on the cutting edge of automobile technology at a time when the industry is quickly pushing to develop autonomous vehicles.
The center will fall under the Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems, a nonprofit group that currently coordinates with the Governor’s Office of Economic Development to oversee the state’s designation as a federal drone test site and help develop the state’s unmanned aerial industry.
