Inquiry into the social issues relating to land-based driverless vehicles in Australia

Vehicles which drive themselves may very well be on our roads within 5 years. Vehicles with varying levels of selfdriving capabilities are already available to consumers today, and the transition to full autonomous operation and widespread adoption is expected to be gradual taking up to 20-30 years. The pace of change will depend in part on acceptance by consumers, regulators and the wider industries which may be disrupted by the changes.
