Abstract:This report responds to a request for information on the current goals and future direction of the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Automated Highway System program. This program seeks to increase the capacity of the nation’s highways and to improve safety by automating many driving tasks and enhancing drivers’ ability to avoid accidents. An automated highway system includes a spectrum of technologies, ranging from intelligent vehicles that can notify drivers of unsafe situations to technologies that assume full control of driving tasks. This report provides information on (1) the potential benefits and drawbacks of implementing a fully automated highway system and (2) DOT’s proposed changes to the Automated Highway System program and the
implications of these changes.
