The inaugural National Autonomous Vehicle Day, #AVDay ’22, was held on May 31, 2022, by Guident in collaboration with Perrone Robotics. The event was held at the Boca Raton Innovation Center (BRIC), a 1.7 million square foot office park and the premier technology and life sciences hub in the Southeast. The BRIC was IBM's research and development campus and became the birthplace of the personal computer in the 1970s; today, it houses Guident's HQ and a growing roster of forward thinkers in technology, visionaries and global enterprises.
