Connected and autonomous road vehicles

House of Commons Library, June 12, 2017

This paper considers some of the key implications of ‘connected and autonomous vehicles’ (CAVs) for the UK road transport sector. It includes discussion of the potential benefits of road-based CAVs; barriers to adoption; and the evolving regulatory framework. The paper also touches on wider considerations, including public perceptions and acceptance of so called ‘self-driving’ technology; potential cyber security issues; and the labour market implications of vehicle automation.
