The Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association (AVIA) has unveiled its 2025 State of AV report, showcasing the rapid growth of autonomous vehicles (AVs) across the United States. The report highlights 145 million autonomous miles driven, doubled since April 2024, and underscores the industry’s push for a federal policy framework to sustain this momentum.
Key Highlights:
- Mileage Milestone: AVs have logged 145 million autonomous miles on U.S. public roads.
- Commercial Growth: Deployments include robotaxis, zero-occupancy vehicles, and long-haul trucks.
- Economic Impact: AVs create jobs in technical and non-technical fields, boosting rural and urban economies.
- Safety and Accessibility: AVs reduce roadway fatalities and improve transportation for people with disabilities and seniors.
- Policy Push: 93% of AVIA CEOs urge federal action to support AV development.
The report emphasizes the AV industry’s transformative potential. AVIA members, including leading developers, are deploying vehicles that enhance safety, mobility, and supply chains. “AVs are proving their value daily,” said AVIA CEO Jeff Farrah, noting their role in safer roads and stronger economies. However, the lack of a federal framework remains a hurdle, with 93% of AVIA CEOs calling it critical for progress.
AVIA’s report also highlights real-world impacts. From rural communities to bustling cities, AVs are expanding access and supporting American manufacturing. Case studies from key states show how these vehicles are reshaping transportation.
The report urges national leadership through AVIA’s policy roadmap, Securing American Leadership in Autonomous Vehicles. Without federal action, the U.S. risks losing its edge in AV innovation.
