Public and Private Sector Collaboration to Advance Automated Driving Systems Testing and Deployment

This Chapter is intended to lay the background for meaningful conversations between public sector and private industry, to understand the barriers and needs for automated driving systems (ADS) and AV testing and evaluation. This includes understanding the capabilities that need to be implemented both in the ADS and on the roadway to support safe and effective ADS operation and understanding what is needed to design and conduct joint tests or pilots. This session aims to identify a path forward to overcome specific, private and public sector barriers, facilitate, and advance AV testing and deployment.
