Side note, is "AV" to mean "autonomous vehicles" (assumed from context) a common usage? I've only ever heard it mean "audio/visual".

Yes. That usage of the acronym works when there are enough context clues. I think it will supplant the "audio/visual" meaning as autonomous vehicles become more salient. Here is text from an old job posting at Ford quoted on TechCrunch:

"We are seeking exceptional candidates to join our growing Autonomous Vehicle (AV) business team!"
