With recent advancements in the transportation industry—particularly the rise of autonomous vehicles, which operate without direct human control—these technologies are expected to offer substantial advantages. Among these are reductions in travel time, traffic congestion, and accidents; improved mobility and increased travel frequency; enhanced traffic flow efficiency; better fuel economy; decreased demand for parking; significant economic gains; and numerous other benefits.
Accordingly, this study seeks to examine the current state of autonomous vehicle usage, identify the challenges these technologies encounter, and analyze their relationship to road traffic safety standards. It also reviews the regulatory frameworks and traffic laws governing the operation of autonomous vehicles.
The study concludes with a set of short-, medium-, and long-term recommendations aimed at guiding policymakers—particularly legislative bodies involved in shaping and updating transportation policies. These recommendations emphasize the need for coordination among relevant stakeholders, proposing the formation of multidisciplinary working groups comprising traffic authorities, road administrators, and engineering design departments. These groups would be responsible for conducting the necessary research and testing to support the integration and regulation of autonomous vehicles within existing traffic systems.
