SAE TOMORROW TODAY: North Texas Nurtures Next Generation of Mobility

When it comes to cultivating new mobility technologies at scale, one sprawling ecosystem in North Texas is in a league of its own. AllianceTexas is a 27,000-acre master-planned industrial, mixed-use and residential development in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. As a global logistics hub, this visionary development has transformed the North Texas economy by generating more than 66,000 jobs and an estimated $111 billion in regional economic impact. With a unique set of air and ground logistics, the Mobility Innovation Zone offers full access to the resources and partnerships necessary to scale and commercialize new technologies at scale--as well as a full spectrum of AV mobility use cases from first to last mile. For the inside scoop, we sat down with Ian Kinne, Director of Logistics Innovation at Hillwood, the developer of AllianceTexas and leader of the Mobility Innovation Zone, to discuss technology commercialization and the future of mobility and supply chain efficiencies for Hillwood's partners and the region.
