Autonomous vehicle (AV) projects in public transport have again started getting attention and funding, after a lull of almost a year induced by Covid and its financial impact on transit agencies.

For the potential of AVs to be fully realized, some of the themes that need to be discussed with a sense of urgency in the next year or two include safety, equity, accessibility and inclusion, privacy and data security, cybersecurity, consistent standards, information sharing, AV electrification, and collaboration and transparency.
