The future of the automotive industry involves autonomous, connected, zero-emission vehicles. To address the numerous issues and challenges associated with those technologies today, the University of California, Irvine (UCI) recently opened the Horiba Institute for Mobility and Connectivity2 (HIMaC2).

The new organization is a part of the Advanced Power and Energy Program at UCI, which focuses on the future of mobility, and the integration of the energy and transportation sectors, including its impact on the electric grid.
