The authors identified those institutional and societal issues and risks that are likely to arise with automated highway systems (AHS) because they have been seen to arise with other similar technologies, and especially with the closely-related immediately predecessor ITS technology. We then sifted through these perceived institutional and societal issues to determine if and how they would affect AHS. Eight categories (plus additional subcategories) of institutional/societal issues were identified early in this process: Regulation, Government Reorganization, Legal, Economic and Other Institutional, Funding Alternatives, Public/Private Cooperation and Motivation, Environmental, Societal, Public Acceptance and Education, Marketing and Marketing of Related Products, Public Health and Welfare, Impact on Local Economy, Economically Disadvantaged, Inner City.
