    This session will help cities understand how accelerating adoption of autonomous vehicles by mobility providers, freight and delivery services, and consumers will create challenges and opportunities for city infrastructure systems. Participants will hear from transportation officials in cities where AVs are already operating in substantial numbers about the long-term issues raised by ongoing rollouts including: conflicts with vulnerable road users, impacts on traffic flow and congestion, shifts in time and location of EV charging demand, and data resources and needs for informed planning. The discussion will highlight where cities should consider AVs in infrastructure planning today and key areas of uncertainty where cities should maintain flexibility to adapt as AV-related impacts, risks, and opportunities become clearer in the future.
