Mission & Interests
Goals: The Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association (“AVIA”) is a non-governmental organization (“NGO”), established with the purpose of bringing the potential safety benefits of autonomous vehicle (‘AV”) technology to consumers in the safest and swiftest manner possible.
The Coalition is comprised of companies with technical expertise and experience in the technology, automobile, and transportation network sectors. Bringing together their varied backgrounds, the companies formed the Self-Driving Coalition in 2016, which in 2022 was rebranded as the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association. Through this time, we have worked closely with lawmakers, regulators, and the public to realize the safety and societal benefits of fully autonomous vehicles.
