Breaking through the hype: What the future holds for autonomous vehicles in cities

For nearly a decade, we’ve been told fully autonomous vehicles (AVs) will soon be driving on our streets. While passenger AVs aren’t quite here yet, they continue to loom on the horizon. Despite years of anticipation, public policy continues to lag behind these innovations. However, some cities are working to get ahead of the curve. With funding from the Knight Foundation, cities across the country are leading the charge to better understand our potential AV future. In this session, representatives from the Knight AV Initiative will discuss insights from AV pilots & the challenges & opportunities in planning for an autonomous future.
