Going Green, For Work and Play

He's an engineering professor whose ideal future includes an autonomous smart car taking him out to the golf course.

Researchers at a new automotive lab at the University of Waterloo believe their work today will help to design the cars of tomorrow.

The new $10-million Green and Intelligent Automotive (GAIA) Research Facility officially opened Wednesday in completely renovated space in the Engineering 3 building.

It's the latest addition to the Waterloo Centre for Automotive Research, or WatCAR, touted as the largest university-based automotive research centre in Canada.

Waterloo research team had one week to design and deliver a complex handlebar connector that helps athletes stay in the optimal position for maintaining speed.
