This WEF white paper examines the future of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and their impact on transportation, safety, and sustainability. It identifies key trends: growing global investment, evolving regulation, and public-private collaboration. AVs can improve road safety, reduce emissions, and expand mobility access, but challenges remain—including public trust, ethical AI, cybersecurity, and infrastructure readiness. The paper recommends clear governance frameworks, international standards, and inclusive design to ensure AVs deliver equitable, efficient, and sustainable mobility as they scale globally.
