Special lanes for autonomous vehicles separate them from regular traffic, potentially improving safety and traffic flow. Proponents argue that dedicated lanes increase safety, enhance traffic efficiency, and encourage the adoption of autonomous technology. Opponents argue that it reduces road space for traditional vehicles and may not be justified given the current number of autonomous vehicles.

while there may be concerns about the costs and implementation of designated AV lanes, the potential benefits in terms of safety, efficiency, environmental impact, and accessibility present a strong case for their consideration.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Yes

Increased Safety: A report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) indicates that autonomous vehicles could reduce traffic fatalities by up to 90% if fully adopted. With dedicated lanes, AVs can operate with minimal interference from human drivers, significantly decreasing the likelihood of accidents. This separation is crucial, as human error is a leading cause of road fatalities .
Traffic Efficiency and Reduced Congestion: Research by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests that AVs can improve traffic flow by 20-30% through optimized driving patterns and red… Read more

We are no where near to implementing a lane for autonomous vehicles when there is very few out there
@9ZKLCS37 days7D
Only when there are more autonomous vehicles being used and compares with the amount of non-autonomous vehicles on the road
@9ZC3FSZ2wks2W
Increase autonomous vehicle incentives and once it reaches a certain amount then do a seperate lane.
@9Z96WJWIndependent2wks2W
I don’t think autonomous vehicles should be allowed.
@9YNGLGQ2wks2W
They are a waste of space and we should not have autonomous vehicles
Not autonomous but public transit should have their own exclusive lanes
I think they should for sure have there own lanes especially motorcycles because I think they are at most danger if getting hit and should have there own lane where no other vehicle can go into that lane.
@9VDP2FM2mos2MO
Yes because at rare occasions, autonomous vehicles can have a slight accuracy on the real roads that human drivers drive in
@9TZYRSK2mos2MO
For now, I don't believe they should even be used. The technology isn't great enough in my opinion.
@9TYTRSD2mos2MO
No. But because autonomous vehicles shouldn’t be trusted to be on the roads
@carsonmyers 2mos2MO
No, ban autonomous vehicles that interact with other traffic and are not on rails
@9RCH4754mos4MO
No, autonomous vehicles notoriously under perform in winter conditions and as such, pose a safety risk for most of canada
@9RC3SBW4mos4MO
Yes, but only when the autonomous technology is sufficiently mature to deploy
@9QW7TQZ4mos4MO
No, Designate extra lanes and infrastructure to other forms of public transit.
@9PSLJVT5mos5MO
No, autonomous vehicles are dangerous and thus should be banned outright
@9PMYD4G5mos5MO
No, and these autonomous vehicles should not be allowed
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 5mos5MO
If the autonomous vehicles are not used for public transportation services like buses and trains, and instead are for private services like cabs or personal vehicles, a designated lane is not necessary.
