Abstract:

Connected autonomous vehicles have the potential to revolutionize the automotive industry by making transportation safer and more environmentally friendly. Despite early optimism, the timeline for widespread deployment of this novel technology continues to be pushed back. This is largely due to the difficulties in replacing human drivers with automated systems that rely on road and communication infrastructure, especially in rural applications where there is already less infrastructure and funding for needed investments will remain a challenge. Moreover, these challenges are greater for Maine and other northern and mountain states that experience seasonal snow and ice. This report discusses connected and autonomous vehicle technology and general applications but also emphasizes rural AV applications and challenges drawing on existing research and a number of case studies.
