Welcome to the CAVWAYs Web-Site

 You have come to the right place to learn about Connected and
 Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) Highways (CAVWAYs), the CAVs that will
 travel on CAVWAYs, and a vision of future mass-transit based on CAV
 Systems. You will meet Davius, spiritual guide to the history and
 wisdom behind the vision.

    "One day, in the relatively near future,
    Mass-Transit based on CAV Systems will
    take us from where we are to where we want to go,
    safely, efficiently, securely, and at reasonable cost."
