Initiative

DriveX Projects

Focused research projects under the DriveX initiative, organized through UCLA Mobility Lab and partner institutions.

DriveX projects bring together research, infrastructure, and partner collaboration around specific themes that extend the broader DriveX program.

Overview

Project program

The DriveX project program is the long-form research track of the initiative. Each project organizes a sustained research effort around a specific scientific question, dataset effort, or deployment-facing system, while staying aligned with the broader DriveX program.

Projects complement DriveX workshops, the Grand Challenge, research assets, and seminars by providing a longer time horizon and a smaller, more focused research community per topic.

CP-X cooperative perception system — key concept diagram

Project 01

CP-X — Cooperative Perception for Real-World Impact

A UCLA Mobility Lab initiative advancing cooperative perception (CP) technologies for real-world transportation systems.

CP-X develops cooperative perception systems that can operate reliably across diverse traffic and infrastructure scenarios — moving from research prototype to deployment-ready CP through simulation, digital twins, and experimental deployments. The program also anchors the Mobility Lab’s broader technology initiatives in smart intersections, connected vehicles, and other innovative mobility solutions.
