Advancing Autonomy in Transport
This paper discusses the potential benefits of the transport modes working closely on matters relating to autonomy, such as improved safety, better network efficiency/capacity through enhanced integration and reduced variability in performance.
It explores the various challenges that can be tackled via cross-sector collaboration, such as deciding where responsibility for safety lies as levels of autonomy increase, operating mixed fleets of manned and unmanned vehicles and ensuring legislation keeps up with the rapidly evolving technology.
It also identifies the opportunities that inter-modal working can present in areas such as ethics and skills, and what the next steps could be, including key recommendations for government.
