Opportunities & Challenges	Regulatory Landscape	Research & Testing

The automotive and transportation sectors are being shaped by transformative technologies with opportunities for innovation, job creation, investment attraction and growth.	They also bring new challenges, including safety, privacy, cyber security, ethics, liability, infrastructure, and labour market impacts.

Partially-automated vehicles – for example with lane-keeping assistance or adaptive cruise control – are available now, and there is a wide range of opinions on when fully automated vehicles will be commercially available. What are the levels of automation?

Automated vehicles are also closely linked to connected vehicle technologies that interact with the world – for example with other cars on the road or road infrastructure.

Governments will play a leadership role in ensuring readiness for their safe deployment, and that we are positioned to benefit from the opportunities. This includes:

supporting their safe deployment on public roads
improving road and public safety
increasing transportation efficiency and mobility
fostering economic opportunities for Canada
ensuring personal information privacy and cyber security
spurring innovation

In January 2018, the Senate Standing Committee on Transport and Communications issued its report, Driving Change: Technology and the Future of the Automated Vehicle
