We met with him to discuss the organization as well as autonomous transportation and what Quebec should expect from the new technology.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-spacer\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-heading\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h5\">Tell us more about IVI\u2019s mission and your hands-on, day-to-day work with Quebec transportation enterprises. What services do you provide?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>The Innovative Vehicle Institute is one of Quebec\u2019s 59 College Centres for the Transfer of Technology (CCTT). Our goal is to help businesses that want to develop innovative products using state-of-the-art technology. Our team of some 30 people provides a number of services to enterprises, including applied research, technical assistance, and specific training programs for a variety of projects in innovative transportation\u2014in both electrification and autonomous vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-spacer\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-heading\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h5\">How does IVI stand apart from other Quebec organizations in the electric and intelligent transport industry?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>We put knowledge to practical use. We help enterprises and transfer our knowledge to them. IVI was one of the first organizations in Quebec to take an interest in transportation electrification. We\u2019ve been conducting tests since 1996!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>Three years ago, we created ARION, a research and development program specialized in navigation systems that helps Quebec companies adapt to the arrival of autonomous vehicles. We are at the forefront of knowledge on intelligent vehicles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-spacer\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-heading\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h5\">What is Quebec known for in autonomous transportation?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>We are truly innovative in the types of vehicles we manufacture. We are very advanced in the manufacture of specialized vehicles and special mobile equipment, which has earned us international recognition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>Quebec\u2014and especially Montreal\u2014is a large artificial intelligence and deep learning hub. Quebec researchers are rapidly updating technologies that are at the foundation of autonomous driving.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>The province is also very innovative in its development of optics-photonics\u2014sensors that detect movement and read road signs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-spacer\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-heading\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h5\">What are the potential benefits of autonomous transportation for Quebec?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>It would improve safety. Humans make mistakes that can have serious consequences. Autonomous transportation will greatly reduce the number of car accidents.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>The biggest benefit isn\u2019t, however, for individuals, but rather for public transportation. Collective services and specialized vehicles will be able to carry out very specific tasks without a person\u2019s help. It will certainly be a major revolution.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-spacer\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-heading\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h5\">Is the province well prepared for these new technologies?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>No, absolutely not. We see it every day at IVI: Quebec businesses have a lot to do to get ready for the arrival of transportation electrification and autonomous driving technologies. Small businesses have a long way to go.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>We also have to focus on training both today\u2019s and tomorrow\u2019s workforce. There are not enough applicants for us to open up training programs in educational institutions, but perhaps the number would rise quickly if the programs existed. Right now, it\u2019s the chicken or the egg. However, I do believe interest will spike in the next few years. We have to start preparing for it now!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ivisolutions.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\"
