Abstract

The technology of autonomous driving systems has the potential to bring significant benefits in terms of safety, mobility, and congestion, as well as land use and energy consumption. In this paper, the authors present both the promises and possible dangers of the large-scale implementation of autonomous vehicle technologies in the current road traffic networks. The effects of autonomous mobility technology are complex and require careful consideration. While there is great potential to transform transportation and offer significant improvements in many areas, there are also risks and challenges that need to be addressed to ensure safe, efficient, and equitable deployment of the technology.
