Book excerpt: However, the final steps in the automation process - those that remove the driver from the equation (and perhaps from the vehicles) altogether - are the most daunting in terms of technology,9 trust10 and policy. [...] The most prominent of these challenges is cybersecurity and the risk of hacking.40 This has, in fact, been the primary focus of early legislative efforts in the U. [...] It is not simply that the way people and goods are transported will be different - the nature of the changes ahead includes particular wrinkles that shape the ability of governments to respond and the policy toolkit available to act. [...] Removing the human effort from mobility has the potential to unleash significant productivity increases but also change the spatial organization of the economy, as urban parking area is given over to new uses and the time cost of commuting is drastically reduced. [...] Regulators need to strike a balance between the advantages of the "laboratory of federalism"86 approach that promotes the necessary innovation in response to a new trend and the risk of disparate rules in different provinces and states making testing and production more onerous, and deterring investment.87 This can be balanced by regular cooperation at various levels of government.
