Climate Change and Industry Minister Claire Perry launched MERIDIAN on 7/9/18, a new government-backed and industry-led brand for the development of connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technology in the UK.
MERIDIAN, funded jointly by the government’s flagship £100m CAV investment programme and by industry, will create a cluster of excellence in driverless car testing, along the M40 corridor between Coventry and London, to accelerate the development of this technology, grow intellectual capital and attract overseas investment in the UK.
