Although there is much uncertainty regarding how autonomous vehicles (AVs) might transform cities and influence roadway safety, our recent ITE Journal article “Safeguarding Safety for Road Users Now While Planning for an Automated Future” published alongside the Eno Center for Transportation explores different safety strategies that are important to consider both today and in an AV future. The article also highlights the importance of vehicle companies, policymakers, engineers, and planners working together to build a transportation system that is safe and functional as AVs are introduced to roadways. We invite you to explore the full article and continue the conversation with us below.
