Panel Description: 

The research on automation is clear: pooling and electrification will mitigate negative impacts of Automated Vehicles (AVs). But there is a long road ahead to ensure the technical and regulatory guardrails are in place to shepherd a smooth transition to AVs. This panel will highlight findings from recent UC Davis AV-related research demonstrating the potential for AVs to induce travel demand. The panel will also discuss the evolution of the California Public Utilities Commission Autonomous Vehicle Passenger Service Pilot Program and recent actions from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Panelists will discuss how California and the federal governments are taking steps to regulate autonomy.
