Tech Demos

The 2025 R&I Symposium will feature a new on-site tech demo session, giving attendees an up-close look at a range of interesting and cutting-edge technology applications in the transportation space.

The tech demo session will be 75 minutes long on Day 1 of the Symposium, and will primarily be held indoors in a large room.

Weather permitting, selected demos will take place outdoors due to space, logistics, and safety considerations. This includes (but is not necessarily limited to) full-size vehicles and untethered drones.
