Land Based Wind
NOW: Projects “construction ready”& under development in NC
FUTURE:Even more development is viablewith taller towers & longer blades
Newly viable areas if tower

What are Automated Vehicles?
• Integrated technologies and systems that make driving and controlling vehicles easier, safer and more efficient
• Many Automated features are already in your car today!• Anti-lock braking• Traction control• Stability control• Cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC)• Lane departure warning & correction• Front/rear collision alert, braking & correction• Side & rear blind-zone alert & correction• Front & rear park assist• Auto collision Preparation (Seatbelt, Airbag • and collision imminent braking & steering)• To name a few …
Jeffrey Barghout: Advanced Energy
Automated Vehicles Opportunities
• Economic Development and Visibility• Leverage / grow local industry, maintain NC’s leadership reputation with
cutting edge technology, quality of life• Improved Efficiency / Reduced Costs• Increased road capacity, reduce congestion/traffic, lower operation
costs, improved fuel economy, better air quality• Improved Safety• Communications and sensors to reduce/eliminate accidents – saving
lives and money• Increased Accessibility• Improved convenience and flexibility for millenniums, aging
population and disabled users
