Brussels, Belgium [03/09/2024] – Partners for Automated Vehicle Education (PAVE) Europe, a non-profit coalition dedicated to promoting public understanding and awareness of automated vehicle (AV) technology, is delighted to announce that MOIA, an innovator in the mobility sector has joined as a new Board member.
