Panel: Economic Impact of Autonomous Vehicles: Global Insights

Wednesday, Aug 27th at 08:00 - 09:30 AM

Autonomous vehicles of all types are now at the early stages of commercial deployment globally. They are expected to generate network scale economic impacts, but these changes will be non-linear and therefore difficult to quantify. In contrast, there are well-established methods for assessing the economic impacts of traditional transportation investments and businesses. Automated vehicles, however, generate a different scale of economic impacts across supply chains, personal mobility, safety, efficiency, and workforce. This session will review the business case for current AV deployment in Asia-Pacific and relevant examples from past large-scale transportation-related deployments in North America and Europe. These examples will shed light on the scale of economic activity that AV systems could generate.

Panelists:

  • Earl Adams Jr., Vice President for Policy and Regulatory Affairs, PlusAI

  • Jane Lappin, Partner, Blue Door Strategy and Research

  • Bin Ran, Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison

  • Tongkarn Kaewchalermtong, President / Lecturer, ITS Thailand / Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy
