Abstract
This paper focuses on state of the art concerning autonomous driving vehicles (AV), with particular
attention to standard equipment currently in use and future improvements. The development of these
vehicles will allow achieving better safety standards, less environmental pollution, and greater social
equity. The development of appropriate infrastructures is not the only requirement that can make all
this possible. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the main characteristics that tomorrow’s smart
cities must hold to accommodate the new technologies introduced by the AV. In this paper, the ranking
of the top 20 countries in the world ready to welcome these technologies is analyzed. Another
essential feature that is investigated concerns to the security of AVs’ dissemination. In particular, all
the possible risk factors regarding security, which currently limits the diffusion of this technology,
are also analyzed.
