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.
