  • by Mollie Cohen D'Agostino
Overview

2025 was a year of major growth and impact for the Mobility Science, Automation, and Inclusion Center (MoSAIC). Building on its foundation as the UC Davis hub for automated vehicle (AV), AI, and robotics research, the Center advanced several new scientific, policy, and educational initiatives. MoSAIC expanded its research infrastructure, welcomed new graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, deepened partnerships with state agencies and international organizations, and contributed to emerging AV regulatory frameworks in California and abroad.

MoSAIC Mission and Vision

MoSAIC continues to leverage a window of opportunity over the next decade to accelerate AV innovation and deployment at scale, towards the public interest —creating sustainable mobility that addresses climate change and social inequity. Our vision is to support research, technology transfer, educational opportunities, and inform public policy that leads to the creation of truly sustainable and equitable transportation.

It has been an exciting year since the 2022 launch of MoSAIC. Our team has expanded the capacity of the Institute of Transportation Studies' (ITS) UC Davis technical capacity on connected and automated vehicles (AVs), artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics. These efforts are in support of MoSAIC’s vision to develop a science of safe, sustainable, and inclusive mobility to transform transportation in ways that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, traffic congestion, cost, and transportation inequities.
