Some participants noted that this use case shifted vehicle ownership to vehicle usership, which would represent a major change.

Shladover noted that some participants suggested that FOTs could provide a focal point for developing public understanding and acceptance of automated mobility services and road transport automation in general.

It was suggested that demonstrations involving a few vehicles were much different from demonstrations involving 1,000 vehicles and that large-scale demonstrations involving 10,000 vehicles were even more complex.
