Background Automated vehicles have the potential to significantly transform the Nation’s roadways. They could help save lives, expand access to transportation, and improve the convenience of travel.

As the effect of automation on the Nation’s roadways becomes clearer, FHWA will define its role in further facilitating innovation and enabling the benefits of the capabilities. This National Dialogue on Highway Automation is an opportunity to engage the public and broad stakeholder community to understand their key areas of interest. These stakeholders will include original equipment manufacturers, technology suppliers, transportation network companies, associations, and public-sector partners.

    Automated vehicles have the potential to significantly transform
