Both the magnitude of the mechanism of change and secondary effects are often uncertain.

As a result, AV research is largely conducted by extrapolating effects from current observed behavior and drawing on theory and models. However, this research is very hard to do because fully AVs have yet to travel on our roads. Research on AVs is extremely important because AVs may significantly disrupt our transportation system with potentially profound effects, both positive and negative, on our society and our environment. The public sector is just beginning to understand AV technology and to grapple with how to accommodate it in our current transportation system.

Experts predict that vehicles could be fully automated by as early as 2025 or as late as 2035. In much the same way that the automobile disrupted horse and cart transportation in the 20 th century, automated vehicles (AVs) hold the potential to disrupt our current system of transportation and the fabric of our built environment in the 21 st century.
