Recent developments of automated vehicles and local policy implications
Abstract
Abstract The last few years have seen significant developments in automated vehicle (AV) technologies and their commercialization. While unconstrained autonomous driving remains an aspiration, and progress in AV connection and system coordination has stalled, practical applications of AV technologies are expanding. Increasingly intelligent driver assistance systems and robotaxis are starting to substitute human labor. We provide updated policy recommendations for cities to best leverage and adapt to these developments.
