How Heavy Duty Applications of Automated Vehicles affects Municipal Budgets

Research is sparse regarding the effects of heavy duty applications of C(AV)s on municipal budgets. However, a research project at the University of Oregon studied how autonomous vehicles will change local government finances, using waste collection as a case study [1]. The case study analyzed costs in Asheville and Chapel Hill and found that in the long term moving solid waste refuse collection to automated vehicles and more highly automated systems could create large cost savings [1].
