Smart Cities Lab

Not much info. Not sure if this is real. The Smart Cities Lab is the creation of a small team of senior Obama Administration officials committed to helping our cities and communities realize the promise of new mobility as a solution to some of our most stubborn urban problems. Their accomplishments include crafting President’s 2015 Strategy for American Innovation; advising Vice President Biden on matters related to energy and climate; developing Federal policies on connected, automated, and electric vehicles; standing up the Metrolab Network to assist cities and universities to deploy university technology and expertise in cities; co-founding and leading President Obama’s Detroit taskforce; funding cities for advanced transportation and congestion management technologies; driving the GM and Chrysler bankruptcies to a successful conclusion; representing the Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy office on Capitol Hill; and creating and executing the Smart City Challenge.
