With initiatives like the now-concluded Future Mobility Lab, the SA Government has taken a strong leadership approach, placing the state at the forefront of innovative transport technologies, and establishing a reputation as a world-class environment for testing connected and autonomous vehicle technologies.
South Australia is also home to some of the country’s most productive exporters of home-grown technologies, making accessible, integrated future transport systems a reality today.
