Ground Advocacy

A Unified Voice on the Ground

The GAC is comprised of a diverse group of member companies, including robotics firms, autonomous vehicle operators, original equipment manufacturers, software companies, and others interested in advanced ground transportation technology.  Our goal is to ensure government keeps up with industry and that our regulatory framework fosters innovation rather than stifles it to spur U.S. competitiveness in this space.

Our current policy priorities

Members meet frequently to develop advocacy goals and policy positions. Here are a few of the priorities we’re currently working on:

  1. Ensure US superiority on the modern battlefield through the advancement of autonomous ground systems for defense applications via appropriations and through direct DoD engagement.
  2. Educate Congressional leadership on the benefits of commercial ground applications across the AV, trucking, and ground robotics sectors.

Through collaboration and consensus, we shape policy positions that speak for the entire industry. Join AUVSI at the Advocacy Level.
