Vehicles Doing More Driving

10 years from DARPA Challenge to Tesla’s AutopilotNext 10 years

Semi-autonomous driving Fully autonomous vehicles in low-speed settings AI plus mapping yields more self-driving capabilities Self-driving common on some roads by 2025

Short-Term ITS Implications

Share data freely Static roadway features Dynamic elements

Make system machine readableAccept third party data to understand systemGoal: Best information to consumers in channel they are

Conclusions

Full vehicle autonomy unlikelyConnection will enable autonomous operationITS should facilitate connection via open data practices

Share own data freely Take full advantage of third-party data about our systems

“Do-it-alone” approach will ill-serve public and slow transition to improved surface transportation system
