In the past six decades, the University has lived by the motto that change is growth. The campus has been built and rebuilt, new degree programs have been added, and new ways of teaching and learning have been embraced. The growth has been possible because of the generous support from countless alumni, families, organizations, students, and supporters. Inspired by the 1957 launch of the first orbital satellite, Sputnik, 26-year-old Northwood founder Arthur Turner concluded that endeavors as large as that would need well-trained business leaders to channel the creative talents of engineers and scientists. Turner called on his business partner, Gary Stauffer, and the idea of Northwood University was born. The University will host a variety of events throughout the year to honor its 60th anniversary.

ISSN 1046-1105 2 Essential to Autonomous Vehicle Development, Simulation Isn’t Close to Being Ready Despite more than one million road fatalities globally each year, human drivers perform exceedingly well, especially in the United States, where there were just 1.13 fatalities per hundred million miles traveled in 2015. While it has become a widely held belief that autonomous vehicles will soon be safer than vehicles driven by humans, proving that point will not be at all easy. Indeed, an automated vehicle under test would have to drive several hundred million miles on real roads to verify that it is at least as safe as a human-driven vehicle. But that is not a real- world option. One possible remedy is to use simulators to “drive” virtual vehicles millions of miles in virtual worlds, such that a sufficient number of exceptional, accident- causing edge cases can be found and addressed in a fraction of the time real world testing would take.
