Abstract

Autonomous vehicle (AV) technology has great promise. It has the potential to significantly reduce fatalities and injuries caused by roadway crashes, and it has the potential to eliminate roadway congestion. The devil is in the details, however, and to achieve these benefits, the development and implementation must be done properly. The author lays out thoughts that manufacturers and regulatory authorities may consider – thoughts that are intended to minimize unintended consequences and to ensure proper introduction of AV technology.

Dr. Reason is perhaps best known for his development of the “Swiss cheese model,” which illustrates how multiple layers of defense (the layers of Swiss cheese) can be breached (the holes in the cheese). When all of the layers have holes, an accident or incident can occur because the defenses are absent.
