Best Countries for Autonomous Vehicles: Holland, Singapore, Norway & USA

Since the first Autonomous Vehicles Readiness Index (AVRI) was published in January 2018, there has been a huge acceleration in investment in AV technology, policy adoption by governments to encourage AVs and media coverage of the topic. The 2019 AVRI adds five new countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Finland, Israel and Norway) for a total of 25; new measures including a consumer opinion poll on AVs; and provides greater insights into individual countries, drawing on the expertise of colleagues across the KPMG network. Once again, The Netherlands ranked #1. Notably, it is working with neighboring countries to launch huge platoons of driverless trucks to transport flowers on major "Tulip Corridor" routes from Amsterdam to Antwerp and Rotterdam to the Ruhr valley. Singapore, a powerhouse of technological innovation, ranked #2.
