The research aims to develop a forward-looking model for improving the organization of smart transport systems based on autonomous vehicles to provide infrastructure support for the sustainable development of high-tech manufacturing and exports in developing countries. To achieve this goal, the research analyzed international statistics on the top 15 most dynamically developing digital economies in 2025. Based on this data, the proposed model includes, first, regression relationships between infrastructure support for sustainable high-tech development of the digital economy and the use of smart transport systems. Second, it offers benchmark indicators for developing smart transport systems that align with maximizing advancement in the information society. The model demonstrates that, unlike in developed countries, developing e-government systems in developing nations does not strengthen but rather weakens the infrastructure base for the sustainable growth of high-tech manufacturing and export. In response, the research proposes a new approach to infrastructure support for the sustainable development of high-tech production and export. This approach emphasizes the active and central role of transport service consumers. The proposed approach is based on the fundamental premise that the evolution of smart transport systems is driven by progress in the information society.
