DBusiness Magazine Biotech Boom As Ann Arbor begins to fulfill its potential as a dynamic biotech hub, the broader impact could be profound. Cameron McCausland // Photograph by Austin Phillips There are few circumstances that better illustrate the importance of biomedical innovation than what’s happening in society right now. Across the country and around the world, the potential for new ideas, new medicines, and new therapeutic options to, quite literally, change lives has perhaps never been more apparent. Biotech breakthroughs require not only cutting-edge scientific and medical resources and expertise, but the necessary entrepreneurial energy to create and sustain them. It’s a rare and valuable combination.
DBusiness Magazine American Center for Mobility Receives First License for AV Testing Software The American Center for Mobility in Ypsilanti Township has received the first license to use a new cloud-based operating system for testing connected or automated vehicles. The platform was developed by Mcity, an AV test site that mimics a small town at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Date Time First license for AV testing software goes to American Center for Mobility A unique new cloud-based operating system for testing connected or automated vehicles has for the first time been licensed for use beyond Mcity at the University of Michigan, where it was developed. The Mcity OS software, which lets researchers create and execute complex, highly repeatable testing scenarios for vehicles that are connected, automated, or both connected and automated, has been licensed by the U-M Office of Technology Transfer to the American Center for Mobility in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Mcity OS is especially useful in situations involving smart road infrastructure and intelligent transportation systems, as is the case at ACM. ACM collaborated with Mcity to integrate Mcity OS with simulated and physical test infrastructure at its 500-acre Smart Mobility Test Center about 15 miles east of Ann Arbor.
