On March 7-8 Cal State LA and its EcoCAR 3 team will host Varden Labs on campus, a startup company in Silicon Valley that develops autonomous vehicle technology. As a part of the two- day event, the company will conduct multiple rides of their fully autonomous golf-cart sized vehicle for students, faculty and staff. The shuttle is about the size of a golf cart and can reach speeds of up to 25 miles per hour, but will be traveling about 10 miles per hour for demonstrations.
On Tuesday, March 8, the company representatives will discuss the autonomous transportation
industry and provide an overview of the autonomous technology. This will be followed by an EcoCAR 3
team presentation into their work on the same topic. Also there will be an opportunity for a
special testing session for industry guests and EcoCAR 3 students. Location: Engineering Building,
room B11. Presentations 10-11 am; rides 11-12pm.
Members of the E4 Mobility Alliance and Advanced Transportation Center are especially welcome to
attend. Parking directions are on the next page.
