Stakeholders from trucking and autonomous vehicle industries, technical experts, highway safety specialists, enforcement personnel, regulatory agency staff, local and Tribal government staff, and researchers will exchange ideas and identify common interests and concerns. There is no fee for the conference, but space is limited so registration is required. 

Key topics may include:

• Rural road safety issues that can be mitigated by autonomous trucks
• Market potential for autonomous trucks in North Dakota and the region
• Willingness of companies to invest in and use autonomous vehicles
• Key labor shortages, particularly in the energy and agriculture industries, that can be address by autonomous trucking
• Preparedness of state and local agencies to monitor and enforce traffic safety and their ability to adjust transportation planning priorities to facilitate autonomous trucking
• Acceptance of autonomous trucks by the driving public
