Autonomous Vehicle Readiness Index - KPMG

Earlier in the year KPMG came out with a report on autonomous vehicle readiness. The recent tragic death of pedestrian by an Uber AV just reinforces that technology is not autonomous, determined and needs profound governance.

The pace of development of AVs is breathtaking. A year ago, some would have argued that they would never become a reality. But now, AVs are being piloted in a number of countries and are running on public roads, albeit only in a handful of locations such as Phoenix in the US State of Arizona and in Singapore. The question is no longer whether but when all road vehicles become fully autonomous. And whether you believe that will take 10 years or 30, the implications are so far-reaching that policymakers need to start planning now for our AV future.
