Initial PerspectiveAn initial view on some of the key options and challenges ahead has
been prepared. This is the starting point of the global dialogue.
Key Questions Include:• Where will be the key hot-spots for AV development and deployment?• Where is advanced regulation most likely to act as a catalyst for AV deployment?• What level of safety (crashes) is acceptable for the full launch of AV in the next decade?• Will AV increase or decrease total traffic flow and congestion?• Will automated mobility services replace, reduce or extend the reach of public transport?• Of all the technologies in the mix, which are in greatest need of further development
before the benefits of AV can be realised?• What are the distinct benefits from AV that are not already coming from current and future-
connected ADAS?• How important will international standards and commonly shared technologies be for AV
adoption?• Which will be the pivotal organisations, cities and governments that control adoption
rates?• Who will lead on integrating all the varied systems needed to enable AV to operate?• Who will customers trust most to deliver a safe, reliable and comfortable AV experience?

Time to Full ConversionDespite growing investment and technology availability, it is going to
take time to change the whole vehicle fleet - maybe up to 25 to 30 years.
![Page 5: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Multiple BenefitsAV will eliminate congestion, reduce injuries, free time, reduce energy
consumption, improve air quality, drive social inclusion and create new jobs.

Controlled EnvironmentsWhile controlled environments have demonstrated some early steps for AV,
there are more complex challenges to be addressed on the open road.
![Page 7: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Rethinking PlanningFor AV to get real traction it may be necessary to turn transport planning on its head and for cities to deliver new visions which in turn will drive demand.
![Page 8: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Connected vs. Autonomous VehiclesConnectivity and autonomy are complementary technologies but connected
vehicles are not necessarily autonomous nor are AVs inevitably connected.
![Page 9: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Alternative Sources of Safety BenefitsMany advocating AV claim huge safety benefits, but the majority of these benefits may well come from ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems).
![Page 10: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Non-safety Benefits Many of non-safety benefits from AV will come from reducing the
cost of travel and saving time due to significant drops in congestion.
![Page 11: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Resistance to SharingAs many people enjoy their personal space, some see that public interest
in a significant rise in sharing vehicles may not be as high as expected.
![Page 12: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
People vs. GoodsThe use of AV to move people could scale in parallel with the movement
of goods - and not follow in their wake as was previously thought.
![Page 13: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Support for PlatooningThere is no real opposition to level 1 truck automation and regulators are
supportive of platooning since it offers societal as well as business benefits.
![Page 14: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Full Truck AutomationThe significant automation (level 4) of highway trucks is of huge commercial
interest to the freight community and will transform long-haul journeys.
![Page 15: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
First and Last MileImproving the inefficient ‘first mile’ and ‘last mile’ is a major opportunity
for innovation with multiple health, energy and efficiency benefits.
![Page 16: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mobility as a ServiceMobility will be delivered as a service that will not only increase
vehicle utilisation but correspondingly also reduce the cost-per-mile.
![Page 17: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cost of AVsPersonal AVs will cost more than human-operated vehicles, but access
to a shared AV will be cheaper than today’s ride-hailing and taxi services.
![Page 18: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Fleet DeploymentMany initial deployments of the ‘fleet’ phase of AVs will focus on
city streets where speed and therefore risk is lower than elsewhere.
![Page 19: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Support for the Fleet ModelFleet is increasingly seen as the way forward for passenger vehicles and could change both travel patterns and car ownership decisions.
![Page 20: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Public Transport SolutionsThe operational design of autonomous buses will not cover all
current service areas, so robo-taxis will have to fill transportation gaps.
![Page 21: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Inadequate HarmonisationPoor coordination between transit systems, urban planning and little planning of long-term transit solutions may delay the benefits of AVs.
![Page 22: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Who we TrustMost of us will prefer to trust traditional car brands more than
big-tech to deliver a safe, reliable and comfortable AV experience.
![Page 23: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Initial UsersAV will have greatest appeal for those without access to affordable mobility
or who are uncomfortable about driving - the young, old and disabled.
![Page 24: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Seaborne AV AmbitionThe maritime industry’s goal is not removing humans from decision-making processes completely but to eliminate the need for crew on board vessels.
![Page 25: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Confidence in Seaborne AVWith rapidly advancing technologies and compelling investment cases,
the trajectory for seaborne AVs is more predictable than others.
![Page 26: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Military UAV RemitThe limiting factor for autonomous weapons is not the technology
but the political will to produce, or admit to having, such capabilities.
![Page 27: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Air Traffic for DronesDrones do not have the same level of collision avoidance systems as planes,
so need a flight control network able to self-manage UAV air routing.
![Page 28: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Access to Air-TaxisAlthough initially only for the wealthy, as they evolve air taxis could compete
with ground transport as a more flexible option for personal mobility.
![Page 29: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Pilotless PlanesPilotless passenger flights are a natural progression as planes already fly on autopilot and airports are equipped for fully automated take-off / landing.

Impact of RegulationThe regions that gain most initially will be those where there is
advanced regulation to act as a catalyst for AV deployment.
![Page 31: The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global … · The Future of Autonomous Vehicles An Initial View for Global Debate and Challenge 8 October 2018. Project Scope](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071105/5fde9be47e867c36f630842c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Common StandardsInternational standards and commonly-shared technologies will be essential for driving global rather than regional AV adoption.
