Abstract
This paper documents the outcomes of Stage 1 of an Austroads-commissioned research study designed to examine what roles, if any, registration and licensing agencies and other stakeholders in Australia and New Zealand should be undertaking to ensure that licence applicants and licensed drivers are competent in the safe operation of advanced driver assistance systems and emerging automated driving features. The key findings from Stage 1, which involved a review of the literature, web search and consultation with members of the project international Expert Advisory Group, are reported in this paper.
