SEATTLE — A venture capital group introduced a proposal Tuesday that could revolutionize the future of a major freeway in our area.

The Madrona Venture Group sees self-driving cars as the future of commuting, and they believe a section of Interstate 5 is the place for it to evolve.

The idea is to have a special corridor just for self-driving cars. This corridor would be on I-5 between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C.

Cascadia Center

Founded in 1993, as the Cascadia Project, Discovery Institute’s Cascadia Center for Regional Development is an important force in regional transportation and sustainable development issues. Cascadia is known for its involvement in transportation and development issues in the Cascadia Corridor, Puget Sound and in the U.S.-Canadian cross-border realm. We’ve recently added to that mix through a major program to promote U.S. efforts to reduce reliance on foreign oil, including the earliest possible development and integration of flex-fuel, plug-in, hybrid-electric vehicles.
