Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are increasingly proposed as a solution towards addressing urbanisation challenges in smart city initiatives, such as congestion, pollution, road safety and transport accessibility. However, their socio-economic and environmental benefits can be hampered by new technological risks emerging from their use. This chapter explores some of the major risks associated with AV adoption that need to be addressed to reap the technology’s full benefits. AVs can introduce safety risks arising from technical issues in the AV system and ethical issues in their design and deployment. In addition, socio-economic equity is a key aspect of sustainability, which can be undermined by AVs displacing jobs in existing industries, as well as by their discriminatory driving decisions shaped by algorithmic biases and the value-laden design choices of AV stakeholders. AVs’ connected nature also poses privacy and cybersecurity risks that can dampen consumer acceptance. After exploring these issues, we discuss some of the governance strategies adopted to address these risks and highlight the gaps in research and practice that need to be addressed.
