dc.description.abstract | Chair Norton, Ranking Member Davis, and Subcommittee Members, thank you for this opportunity to testify on the future of automated vehicles and the impacts they could have on communities throughout the country. My name is Nico Larco and I am a Professor of Architecture and Urban Design as well as the Director of the Urbanism Next Center at the University of Oregon. Urbanism Next is a crossdisciplinary center focused on understanding the impacts that emerging technologies such as automated vehicles (AVs), new mobility, and e-commerce are having and will continue to have on communities. Our focus is not on the mechanics of the technologies, but rather on their impacts on land use, urban design, building design, transportation, and real estate, and why these impacts matter for equity, health, safety, the environment, and the economy. We work extensively on these topics with cities and states throughout the country, as well as with private sector partners who are developing or deploying emerging technologies, professional organizations, other research organizations, and foundations. We have found a tremendous interest, across all these organizations, in understanding AVs’ impacts and how to shape the deployment of emerging technologies to help achieve equity, sustainability, and economic goals. | en_US |
