In the past decade, the research and development of autonomous vehicles (AVs) has intensified in the U.S. and around the world. Much of the research has been propelled by the benefits of AV advancements to include reduced crashes and traffic fatalities, improved fuel efficiency, reduction in environmental impacts associated with emissions, increased economic productivity, and better access to transportation. As a state, Florida is a leader in AV research and development, policy making and business.
