They should now be capable of allowing several forms of mobility (soft and active mobility, electric, thermal The transport sector today is undergoing profound and also autonomous mobility) to coexist. This is changes, particularly in the area of mobility. The particularly true in urban areas. Accessibility of 1 world’s population continues to grow , as does its mobility is an issue that runs parallel to the many urban share. 75% of Europeans now live in urban innovations in cities, when a large part of the 2 areas . This situation implies a concentration of population has little or no alternative to the private the movement of goods and people and poses car, and can only rely on the road infrastructure challenges to the transport sector, particularly to ensure their journeys and social contacts. the road infrastructure sector. Road transport The other challenge of mobility is therefore its accounts for more than three-quarters of inland inclusiveness for the whole population, whether passenger transport and more than 70% of inland urban, peri-urban or rural. goods transport in Europe. A state of the art has been drawn up within this The transport sector must now give priority in publication at the global level on the evolution of meeting the objectives to fight against climate mobility and the national or regional strategies change, given that the sector accounts for a proposed. Trends have been observed and a large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions, comparative analysis has been made in order a proportion which is itself largely attributable to determine what role road infrastructure and to road transport. Limiting temperature rises in its equipment’s will play with regards to these accordance with the Paris Agreement remains increasingly rapid changes. Roads remain a central essential and is based on the rapid and downward element of mobility and it is essential that they be trend in greenhouse gas emissions. integrated into its evolution. In order to fight mainly against congestion This study is also an opportunity to suggest problems in many urban centres around the world, orientations and a framework of action to the road new actors have emerged and are experimenting infrastructure stakeholders in order to meet the with innovative tools and systems. These concern challenges that the road infrastructure sector will traffic management, interaction and connectivity face in the coming years. between the different actors on the road, and they are in full expansion. The objective is to make road traffic more fluid and to combat the various forms of pollution generated: air pollution in the first place, but also noise and visual pollution. These new tools are also seen as an additional guarantee in terms of road safety, which remains a priority. In this context, automation and vehicle connectivity in the broadest sense are also being developed. As a result, mobility has been undergoing major changes for several years: development of less polluting vehicles, alternatives to the individual vehicle in urban areas (self-service bicycles, free- floating machines, car-sharing), integration of different modes of transport via digital technologies such as Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS). The trend is towards shared, inclusive mobility that is less and less centered around the individual car. The notion of “mobility” includes a service dimension that is more important than that of “transport”, which merely refers to the means or the capacity to travel. 6 1 / United Nations Population Fund: World population trends.

    Issues in Autonomous Vehicle Testing and Deployment

    Issues in Autonomous Vehicle Testing and Deployment Updated April 23, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45985 SUMMARY R45985 Issues in Autonomous Vehicle Testing and April 23, 2021 Deployment Bill Canis Autonomous vehicles have the potential to bring major improvements in highway safety. Motor Specialist in Industrial vehicle crashes caused an estimated 36,096 fatalities in 2019; a study by the National Highway Organization and Business Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has shown that 94% of crashes involve human error. For this and other reasons, federal oversight of the testing and deployment of autonomous vehicles has been of considerable interest to Congress. In the 115th Congress, autonomous vehicle legislation passed the House as H.R. 3388, the SELF DRIVE Act, and a separate bill, S. 1885, the AV START Act, was reported from a Senate committee. Neither bill was enacted. Comprehensive legislation concerning autonomous vehicles was not introduced in the 116th Congress, but the America’s Transportation Infrastructure Act of 2019, S. 2302, which was reported by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, would have encouraged research and development of infrastructure that could accommodate new technologies such as autonomous vehicles. Comprehensive legislation has not been introduced in the 117th Congress as of the date of this report. In recent years, private and government testing of autonomous vehicles has increased significantly, although it is likely that widespread use of fully autonomous vehicles—with no driver attention needed—lies many years in the future. The pace of autonomous vehicle commercialization was slowed after to the 2018 death in Arizona of a pedestrian struck by an autonomous vehicle, which highlighted the challenges of duplicating human decisionmaking by artificial intelligence.

    Issues in Autonomous Vehicle Deployment name redacted Specialist in Industrial Organization and Business Updated May 17, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44940 Issues in Autonomous Vehicle Deployment Summary Legislation recently passed by the House of Representatives—H.R. 3388—and pending in the Senate—S. 1885—would provide new regulatory tools to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to oversee autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles are seen as a way to reduce motor vehicle crashes; for example, there were 37,461 deaths from motor vehicle crashes in 2016 and nearly all of them were caused by driver error. However, despite unanimous approval in House and Senate committees and on the House floor, the legislation has proven controversial in the wake of several high-profile accidents involving autonomous vehicles being tested on public roads. At present, no fully autonomous vehicles are available for public use. Many new vehicles have automated some driver functions, but all require a human to monitor the driving environment and control the vehicle. However, rapid advances in technology have made it likely that vehicles with high levels of automation will be on the market within a few years, raising questions about the adequacy of existing methods of safety oversight. The federal government and the states share motor vehicle regulation, with the federal government responsible for vehicle safety and states for driver-related aspects such as licensing and registration. While NHTSA has the statutory authority to regulate all types of motor vehicles, its traditional standard-setting process would take many years at a time when vehicle innovation is changing rapidly; standards envisioned now could be obsolete by the time they took effect.

It is projected that in the next 20-30 years fully autonomous vehicles will be on the market. The advancement on the research and development of this technology will allow the disengagement of humans from the driving task, which will be responsibility of the vehicle intelligence. In this scenario new vehicle interior designs are proposed, enabling more flexible human vehicle interactions inside them. In addition, as some important stakeholders propose, control elements such as the steering wheel and accelerator and brake pedals may not be needed any longer.
