The Design and Research of In-Vehicle Experiences Lab (DRIVE Lab) brings together researchers from a variety of disciplines across Clemson University’s main (Clemson, SC) and Greenville, SC campuses. We collaborate with faculty in industrial engineering, psychology, mechanical engineering, and automotive engineering. Faculty and researchers from all departments are welcome and we are always interested in inter and intra university collaborations.
