Electric vehicles, which run on battery power, are more easily automated than conventional car [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Technology technology]. This has generated much interest in autonomous vehicles.

An autonomous vehicle (AV) is a self-driving vehicle which requires little or no human direction and can sense its environment in terms of where it is, navigates by satellite and ‘sees’ any objects in its path that it must avoid.

AVs are not just cars: they can also be trains, ships, trucks, drones and lunar vehicles. But they are all typically equipped with computers, software and cameras which gather information about the external environment, and are connected to satellites and the Internet of Things. This will eventually all result in vehicles not requiring steering wheels. However, some think that this will not come about for many years.

For road vehicles, there are two main levels of automation:

* Fully autonomous, where the AV can complete journeys safely without a driver in normally-encountered [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Traffic traffic] [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Condition conditions], and
* Highly automated, where the vehicle can operate in driverless mode but must have a driver on-board to take control if necessary.

Today’s AVs can offer assisted driving, with automatic braking, cameras to monitor hazards, parking assistance and alarms to alert drivers when they have strayed from designated lanes. But until full automation, AVs, particularly cars, will have to go through various stages of increasing automation until they become fully autonomous, ie self-driving, with no steering wheel needed nor any control from the passengers.

When full autonomy occurs – expected around 2025-2030 – autonomous cars may:

* Drive themselves from door-to-door without a driver, including in city and motorway conditions.
* Communicate through the Internet of Things with each other and the road infrastructure and so take decisions on optimal routes, internal temperature etc.
* Have no options for drivers to take control of vehicles.

One of the biggest questions around vehicle autonomy is, given the driver is not in control, who will be liable in the event of an accident? If the software goes wrong should the vehicle provider, software developer or the vehicle manufacturer be liable? Questions such as these are still being debated hotly by the industry.

And are current drivers competent enough to be in control of highly automated vehicles (HAVs)? A report by the House of Lords Science & Technology committee suggested that drivers with existing licences should be required to take a special driving test to ensure they can take back control in an autonomous car.

Research showed that driver responses in AV conditions are slower than when they are in full control of a vehicle, taking on average six times longer to respond to emergency braking situations. This could be, the report suggested, because drivers can become complacent under autonomous conditions.

Undoubtedly, AVs will potentially transform [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Cities cities] due to zero exhaust [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Emissions emissions], safer [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Road roads], fewer accidents, less congestion and smoother [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Traffic traffic] flow, with extensive freeing-up of conventional [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Parking parking] [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Space space]. They could also bring about changes in car [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Ownership ownership] patterns and change the urban landscape.

In July 2019, the [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Government government] launched a [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Consultation consultation] on [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Proposals proposals] to alter existing [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Residential residential] and non-[https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Residential_building residential buildings] [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Regulations regulations] to include electric vehicle [https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Infrastructure infrastructure] requirements.
