Automated vehicles: the coming of the next disruptive technology

Automated vehicles (AVs) are, in some forms, already here. If history is a guide, their rollout may occur rapidly. They have the potential to bring great benefits, particularly in the form of saving us time and reducing the number of collisions on our roads. But as they roll out, they will be disruptive to both the public and private sector in the process. Governments and businesses must begin to plan for the arrival of AVs sooner, rather than later. This report provides an overview of the potential benefits of AVs and highlights some of the issues that we need to start planning for.
