LAutoVélo

LAutoVélo is a Los Angeles–based nonprofit organization dedicated to researching and promoting safe, multimodal urban mobility that integrates autonomous vehicle technology with bicycle infrastructure and policy.

Founded in 2016 by urban planners, engineers, and cycling advocates, LAutoVélo aims to reduce conflicts between autonomous street vehicles and cyclists while encouraging cycling as everyday transport.

Its activities include applied research on street design and traffic safety, data collection and analytics through its Mobility Data Lab, and the development of policy guides for cities and transit agencies.

Key programs include pilot projects in mixed-traffic corridors, advocacy campaigns for protected bike lanes, and education efforts for drivers, riders, and municipal staff.

Governance comprises a board of directors and an advisory council drawn from academia, industry, and community groups. Funding comes from foundation grants, city contracts, and philanthropic gifts.

LAutoVélo publishes reports and briefs on best practices for integrating autonomous vehicles and bicycling, and collaborates with city agencies and universities on research and pilots.
