Driving the Future of Shared Autonomous Mobility at the 2025 Florida Automated Vehicles (FAV) Summit

The ACES Mobility Coalition was proud to serve as a partner and Gold Sponsor of this year’s Florida Automated Vehicles (FAV) Summit, held November 5–7 in Orlando. Throughout the week, we helped bridge the gap between public agencies and private innovators, advancing the conversation on shared autonomous mobility and highlighting solutions that make communities safer, smarter, and more connected.

On Wednesday evening, ACES joined Holland & Knight to host the official VIP reception at the Omni Hotel’s Eagles Edge driving range — bringing together agency leaders, innovators, and policymakers shaping the next phase of shared, connected, and autonomous mobility. This special networking event gave members and attendees the chance to collaborate, exchange ideas, and even take a few swings at the golf bays overlooking the course.

Throughout the week, ACES members took center stage across panels and technology demonstrations, helping to lead the national dialogue on the real-world deployment of shared autonomous mobility.
