The document discusses the Australian Driverless Vehicle Initiative (ADVI) which aims to accelerate the safe introduction of driverless vehicles in Australia. It outlines the partnership's vision and potential benefits like improved safety, productivity, mobility and reduced emissions. The initiative is structured in phases starting with awareness raising and demonstrations, followed by field tests to explore issues like safety, infrastructure, regulations and public acceptance. The final phases involve policy and regulatory changes to enable widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles on public roads.

Where does Australia sit?
Australia is not prepared for self-driving vehicles:
Other countries are rapidly progressing towards
bringing driverless vehicles to market
Australia spends twice as much on transport than
the average OECD country.
New business models required for car
manufacturers and infrastructure providers
Australian law and policy
8. Driven by:
Options to improve road safety
Without technology:
– Rationalise speed limits
– Enforcement (speed, RBT, etc.)
– Rethink our cities
With Technology:

Questions for AITPM
What would it mean to have 30% less vehicles
on the road?
How do we manage the mix between
conventional vehicles and driverless vehicles?
How will future of parking and infrastructure
development be affected?
Who wants to become an ADVI partner?
