Automated Vehicles and the Long Tailpipe: Are AVs an Environmental Silver Bullet?
John Hodges-Copple, Regional Planning Director, Triangle J Council of Governments 

 

Although a vast body of research already exists for the potential environmental impacts of automated vehicles, little consensus exists about their long-term implications. In this session, John Hodges-Copple will discuss the systemic elements often missing from environmental studies of AVs and will discuss their potential impacts on the health and wellbeing of communities.
