Road mortality is a major contributor to biodiversity loss worldwide. In the March issue of Frontiers, Silva and Calabrese describe how autonomous driving technology has the potential to deliver not only more accessible and efficient transportation options but also improved safety for humans and wildlife. However, ensuring future reductions in collisions between wildlife and driverless vehicles will require integrating technological advancements and new regulations with a more thorough understanding of where such interactions occur, which taxa are affected, and how animals behave in relation to both roads and vehicles.
