ADVI is the peak body that spans the wide ecosystem of driverless vehicles in Australia and New Zealand. Established in 2015 by the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB), ADVI now has a membership of more than 130 leading organisations across a wide range of sectors. ADVI offers a unique opportunity for partners to collaborate with governments, industry and researchers, to position Australia and New Zealand amongst the world leaders in the development and deployment of driverless technology.

ADVI’s education, advocacy and demonstration efforts help to inform and raise awareness, encourage community acceptance, and ensure understanding of the economic, environmental and lifestyle benefits of driverless vehicles.

As the nation’s peak driverless vehicle industry collective, the Australia and New Zealand driverless vehicle initiative supports a step-change to Australia’s approach to addressing the introduction of driverless vehicle technology. In 2018 Australia slipped behind other countries in the KPMG AV Readiness Report (14 to 15). This is a concern to ADVI partners who are advocating for Australia to assume a position in the top 10 countries globally to ensure we get access to an industry

expected to be worth $US 7 trillion globally by 2050. The critical transition period for employment and growth will start in 2025 as we see more people start to embrace this new technology.

ADVI is calling for a greater focus on Australia’s strengths and better leverage of our points of difference. The nation is the world’s largest net exporter of lithium, wehave the 4th largest pension market with AUD$2.9 trillion under management providing strong investment capital, we have as estimated 7000 world-class vehicle engineers who have lost their jobs and are looking for new opportunities, and we have abundant key resources including sunlight, cobalt, copper, graphite, nickel to be part of a new driverless and electric vehicle supply chain.

Driverless vehicles provide new opportunities if there is a focus on supporting Australian companies to produce high value products and services. The FederalGovernment should play its part to progress the new infrastructure, both physical and digital, in a smart and connected manner so that the market to supply servicesto develop Australian industries take their place in the extended global connected and driverless automotive, infrastructure and software supply chain.

This is the model adopted by China, UK, US, Israel, Singapore, Sweden and the Netherlands, where a focus has been on supporting local industries to research anddevelop technology to service local markets thus creating new global skill sets. In Australia to date, our approach has been too focused on being a receiver of vehicles and technologies, rather than a producer and developer of these.

WHY A CHANGE INAPPROACH IS NEEDED

52020 INFORMING A NATIONAL DRIVERLESS ROAD MAP 2020

A ten point action plan is required to position Australia as one of the first countries to allow commercial deployment of Level 4 and above driverless vehicles, that will ignite the opportunity for our intellectual capacity to develop the skills in the fastest growing “new world” economy is listed below: 1. Implement a whole of government approach to the introduction of driverless

technology into Australia though COAG with a broader focus than just transport, include advanced manufacturing, energy, finance, education, training, trade, tourism and investment.

2. Work with ADVI to build consumer confidence and acceptance of driverless vehicles by communicating benefits and opportunities.

3. Evaluate the readiness of Australia for widespread deployment of driverless vehicles across infrastructure, connectivity, skills and community acceptance.

4. Establish a set of national performance standards and test protocols for driverless vehicles to advance the implementation of a driverless future.

5. Establish national off and on road test facilities that follow these nationally agreed testing protocols.

6. Establish national infrastructure standards for driverless vehicles that will deliver significant benefits for the country so that we can have a national highway system that is accessible to all driverless vehicles instead of the eight different standards to which the National Highway is currently constructed.

7. Coordinate knowledge transfer from trials and deployments already being funded through public money to capture the learnings and translate these into guides, standards, regulations and legislation that will set Australia apart and advance the implementation framework for a connected and driverless future.

8. Establish a program of investment focused on the provision of urban and rural platforms that enable Australian companies, academic institutions and government agencies to develop solutions for:

a. Managing congestion in our cities b. Improved transport services for people with a disability and aging c. Establishing a local supply chain for the next generation of zero emission vehicles d. The safe and efficient movement of heavy and

light commercial vehicles across Australia

9. Establish a joint government and insurance industry initiative to explore specific requirements relating to liability and coverage.

10. Introduce requirements for genuine sharing of crash and incident data to help build community trust and prevent future incidents and crashes.
