Preparing the city of Toronto for automated vehicles

Transportation Services, January 5, 2018

Automated vehicles are now on Toronto’s streets, in various forms and for a variety of purposes. Partially automated vehicles are providing assistance to drivers in the form of cruise control, automated braking, and other safety features included in newer vehicles. Highly automated vehicles – often referred to as driverless or autonomous cars – are being tested on public roads in Ontario, including Toronto, through a permit from the Ministry of Transportation. These more advanced vehicles have the potential to reshape our transportation system, impacting road safety, traffic congestion, mobility equity, and environmental health.
