Abstract: | ADVI has undertaken an economic analysis of the benefits of adopting AV, Australia could unlock $95 billion a year in economic value Generate 16,000 new jobs Take a proactive approach to the introduction of autonomous vehicles in Australia Brian Haratsis from Macro Plan Dimisi one of ADVI’s partner This country is in need of a clear government mandated roadmap for the rollout of automated vehicle technology to ensure we maximise the social, environmental and economic benefits automation can bring,“ “We have the high-tech research, design, testing and manufacturing capabilities to make us a leading exporter of mobility services and technology across the APAC region. By taking first mover advantage in this emerging global industry, we can not only mitigate the forecast 40,000 jobs to be lost in car manufacturing, but create a new specialised high-tech export market.” “If we tok the average $2 billion we gave in assistance to car manufacturers between 1997 and 2012 and invested in intelligent mobility, direct employment could be doubled from 7,500 to 15,000. Add that to the estimated baseline $80 billion in economic savings from improved road safety, the incentives for swift and decisive action are clear.” IF Australia’s stake in the global intelligent mobility sector is grown from 0.25% to 1% would inject $15 billion into the economy and create 7,500 direct jobs and an additional 8,500 indirect jobs. ADVI is advocating for the development of a five-year funding and incentive package similar to the UK’s £100m (AUD $177m) Intelligent Mobility Fund, which is predicted to fast track £900b (AUD$1.6 trillion) in productivity benefits. BY 2030 - its predicated that 10% of vehicle sales and 30% of all kilometres travelled will be by autonomous vehicles. with each shared vehicle replacing around eleven conventional vehicles. “Transitioning from a society of car ownership to car sharing will have significant benefits for road congestion and the environment,” “It’s also the much needed catalyst for changes to outdated funding mechanisms, including; fuel excises, registration and licensing fees.” “The research also shows our cities can expect to see a 15-20% increase in land use efficiency through car park and road infrastructure reductions. So it’s important that town planners, designers and engineers understand the implications automation will bring so they can start preparing now.” |
