During the webinar, Thomas will address the role of autonomous vehicle technology in moving towards the goal of zero deaths caused by drunk driving.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSince its founding, MADD has helped reduce the number of drunk driving deaths by half while serving nearly one million victims of this violent, preventable crime. Yet drunk driving continues to claim more than 10,000 lives every year, accounting for more deaths on the nation\u2019s roads than any other cause. Fully autonomous vehicle technology has the potential to help prevent impaired driving and reduce collisions on roadways.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cFor almost 41 years, MADD has worked to change behaviors and attitudes toward drunk driving, with a great deal of success. But we have learned that technology is essential to getting us to our goal of zero deaths caused by drunk driving,\u201d said MADD National President Alex Otte. \u201cAutonomous vehicle technology holds the incredible promise of helping us eliminate drunk driving. That\u2019s why we are so excited to partner with Velodyne.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cVelodyne and MADD share a commitment to advancing safety on our roadways,\u201d said Sally Frykman, Chief Marketing Officer, Velodyne Lidar. \u201cWe believe that autonomous vehicles are an essential part of making our roadways safer, especially against drunk drivers. As a proud sponsor of MADD, together, we are working to educate the public on the safety benefits of autonomous vehicles so the technology realizes its full potential.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Velodyne Lidar<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nVelodyne Lidar (Nasdaq: VLDR, VLDRW) ushered in a new era of autonomous technology with the invention of real-time surround view lidar sensors.
