In China,\u00a0government policies and consumer attitudes have quickly shifted toward autonomous and vehicles, violently pumping sales and mobility initiatives. According to\u00a0Michael Dunne, president of China automotive consultancy ZoZo Go,\u00a0“China will be the first to commercialize at scale simply because the regulators will pave the way with pro-autonomous policies.”<\/p>\n

However, despite that Europe isn’t attracting as much attention as the U.S. or China,\u00a0a KPMG study<\/a>\u00a0found that the Netherlands is actually the country with the highest level of readiness for autonomous driving as it came first with\u00a0a score of 27.73.<\/p>\n KPMG<\/a> also noted that the Netherlands provides an AV readiness model with excellent infrastructure, a highly supportive government, and enthusiastic adoptions of electric vehicles.<\/p>\n Singapore\u00a0comes second with 26.08 after it made progress by introducing an amendment to its Road Traffic Act<\/a> in 2018 which allowed self-driving cars to be tested on its streets.<\/p>\n The U.S. ranked third given its ambitious testing program and the fact that it has 163 companies developing self-driving technology, the highest number of any country.<\/p>\n India, Mexico, Russia, and Brazil are the bottom four countries, indicating they may be slower to adopt AVs and reap the economic and societal benefits.<\/p>\n The study rated countries on 26 variables within 4 pillars: policy & legislation, technology & innovation, infrastructure and consumer acceptance.<\/p>\n
