Lindsay Wiginton and Shagithya Deivendran from Transportation Services' Policy and Innovation Section will provide a description of Toronto's projects to prepare for this technology, including: the Automated Vehicles Tactical Plan, and the Automated Shuttle Trial – set to deploy in a Toronto neighbourhood in 2020 in partnership with TTC and Metrolinx. Participants will learn about approaches to create internal interest and participation across divisions and agencies; lessons learned from a trial project developed with the goal of exploring the potential for AVs within the transit system; and important areas of consideration for this disruptive technology, including: privacy, accessibility, safety, and more.
