Once a futuristic dream, advances in computer, robotics, and communications technologies have made automated vehicles (AV) a practical reality, now in the news almost daily. Companies are testing AV, and the launch of a public pilot program is expected within months. Although a “driverless” technology could raise concerns, engineers cite the potential safety advantages of AV, as well as greater predictability, reduced congestion, and the opportunity to more fully serve transportation-disadvantaged persons, such as the disabled and elderly. The Florida legislature recently required Florida’s metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to incorporate AV into their long-range transportation plans (LRTPs), which anticipate future needs and changes in transportation over the next 20 years. In preparing these plans, the MPOs must consider “infrastructure and technological improvements necessary to accommodate advances in vehicle technology, such as autonomous technology and other developments.”
