Autonomous Vehicles: An Opportunity for Cities
Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) are poised to revolutionize transportation by reducing congestion, emissions, and stress while enhancing road safety and accessibility. However, this transformative journey is fraught with challenges and skepticism.
At this critical juncture, AVs face both promises and obstacles. What prerequisites are necessary for AVs to truly benefit our cities, environment, and society? The Urban Mobility Explained (UMX) course, “Autonomous Vehicles: An Opportunity for Cities,” addresses the infrastructural, regulatory, and commercial challenges of shaping an autonomous future, emphasizing sustainable AV deployment in urban mobility ecosystems.
This course aims to empower professionals to critically assess the role of AVs in sustainable mobility. By exploring their environmental, social, and economic impacts through real-world examples, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the barriers to AV deployment, legal and regulatory frameworks, and adaptation strategies for urban spaces.
