Context

The archive holds 72 reports filed under Automated Vehicle, spanning 2013–2016. The earliest is “Preliminary Statement of Policy Concerning Automated Vehicles”; the most recent is “Automated Driving Tech Could End Rise in Road Deaths”. Original reporting came via Burney Simpson, Smart Highways, Paul Godsmark and others.

This period matters for a specific reason: it is when the industry's assumptions were set. Testing permits were first issued, the acquisitions that consolidated the perception layer closed, the regulatory frameworks still in force were drafted, and a great many confident deployment dates were published. Almost all of those dates passed without incident, which makes the contemporaneous record more useful now than it was at the time — it can be read against what actually happened.

Coverage under Automated Vehicle overlaps most often with Driverless, Autonomous, Connected Vehicle and Technology, which is a reasonable map of where the topic sat in the industry's attention.

For what the listed companies in this field did over the same period, the D20 index roster tracks the corporate side. For what has since been deployed on public roads, the deployment tracker records operators, cities and dates, and the research library holds the papers this reporting drew on.
