Connected and Automated Vehicles: A Primer for Canadian Municipalities was originally published in January 2021. It provides a high-level overview of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), addresses myths and offers guidance to help municipal stakeholders make informed decisions.

Despite the many claims that have been made, there is still much uncertainty surrounding CAVs, including how and when this technology will be commercially deployed, and the benefits and drawbacks of CAVs for a city’s transportation network, economy and society as a whole.
