Abstract: Autonomous vehicles otherwise regarded as self-driving vehicles are poised to be the next generation of technological advancement in the transportation sector globally. They offer superior value for money with regard to the cost of operation, excellent safety records, and many other benefits. Cities around the globe have adopted it even as research and development efforts are ongoing. This study investigates the role autonomous vehicles could play in Africa, especially as it relates to transportation inclusivity. The study determined that there are lots of inclusivity issues beguiling African nations ranging from religious, financial, educational, and cultural issues and was able to highlight how the adoption of autonomous vehicles can aid to solve issues relating to stigmatization and social exclusion.
