Considerations and Countermeasures for Promoting Application of Autonomous Vehicles in Transportation Services
In order to promote the commercial application of autonomous vehicles in road transportation market and guide the healthy and orderly development of autonomous driving transportation services,first-ly,the long-tail issues hindering the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles are analyzed and the countermeasure to eliminate the long tail issue by adding constraints is proposed from the perspective of road transportation industry management.Then,from the five aspects of vehicle technology,route utiliza-tion,practitioner qualifications,enterprise management,and industry regulation,the conditions for using autonomous vehicles to engage in transportation service business activities that match the current au-tonomous driving technology and meet the requirements of current laws and regulations are clarified to address the long-tail issues in the application of autonomous driving technology.Finally,the rela-tionships between commercial application risks of autonomous vehicles and factors such as openness of operational areas for autonomous vehicles,in-area vehicle speed,passenger and cargo capacity are analyzed,the index parameters for various factors across high,medium,and low risk levels are deter-mined,and based on the risk levels of different transportation modalities,the application expectations of autonomous vehicles are put forward to propose feasible countermeasures for the commercialization of autonomous vehicles.
