Questions
What will change with the introduction of driverless vehicles?
Do we drive this change?
Driven by:
When will the technology be available?
Driven by:
Building blocks for automation already available
Automatic transmission systems
Electronic stability control Electronic power steering Adaptive Cruise Control Autonomous emergency

Driven by:
Where does Australia fit
Australians recorded the highest positive public attitudes towards driverless cars – 62%
Early adopters of innovations and new technologies
Well-regarded internationally for being at the cutting edge of innovation
More young people without a drivers license
Driven by:
What is a driverless vehicle?
A driverless vehicle is a fully connected and automated vehicle that replaces the human driver in the management of all dynamic driving tasks.
Driven by:
5 levels of automation
Level 0: No automation
Level 1: Driver assistance
Level 2: Partial automation
Level 3: Conditional Automation
Level 4: High Automation
Level 5: Full Automation
Driven by:
Why driverless vehicles?
The Potential Benefits
~90 % reduction in crashes
30% productivity improvement for drivers
Accessibility and mobility for disadvantaged
Reduced congestion and reduced emissions
Creation of flexible and adaptive public transport services
Increased economic competitive-ness to stimulate the Australian industry
Improved air quality and other environment benefits
30% productivity
improvement for drivers
Accessibility and mobility for disadvantaged
Reduced congestion and
reduced emissions
Creation of flexible and
adaptive public
transport services
~90 % reduction in
crashes
Increased economic
competitiveness to stimulate the
Australian industry
Improved air quality and
other environmental
benefits
Driven by:
Options to improve road safety
Without technology:– Improve road network
– Rationalise speed limits
– Enforcement (speed, RBT, etc.)
– Rethink our cities
– Resolve distraction issues

The human factor
Driving is a Complex Activity: route finding route following velocity control collision avoidance rule compliance vehicle monitoring
Vehicle automation is not yet 100% reliable in performing all driving activities.
Driven by:
The human factor
Distrust Over-trust Transition of control Skill loss Workload Loss of human cooperation Driver acceptance Public acceptance Motion sickness
Driven by:
The infrastructure
Lane width
Pavement deterioration
Width of parking spaces
Radius of curves
Line marking

Challenges
No car manufacturing in Australia Australia is fragmented, with states competing Limited budget available:
– Queensland– Victoria– RAC WA– Industry
Insufficient harmonisation:– Legislation– Design practices (traffic control devices, etc.)

The Tesla crash
Is it ethical that the whole world is talking about it and that all details, including personal details, are shared publicly?
Or is this how it should be with every single fatal crash, like in aviation?
Driven by:
The Tesla crash: some observations
A level 2 automated car was driven like a level 3 automated car.
Learning by doing is part of the deployment process.
Is it acceptable that machines could cause a fatal accident?
