AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES EUROPE 2023

The automotive industry is at a turning point and transforming as manufacturers and developers leapfrog to become ‘mobility service providers’. For the next decade, automakers and autonomous vehicle developers will seek to establish standardisation and advancement to Level 5 autonomy and Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities. Global demand for Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV) is growing exponentially with the market value set to exceed $200bn by 2025 and an upsurge in new challenges associated with the expansion of the AV industry.

Automotive manufacturers and policymakers seek new solutions in managing data and connectivity, ensuring robust infrastructure to support AVs, vehicle updates and maintenance, and post-production and post-deployment services. The concerns and growing challenges remain unabated and global societal voices call for industry engagement and collaboration on new technologies and strategies, as well as understanding the impacts of transformation to Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) and Robotaxi services.

The development of connected and automated vehicles relies on the latest research in artificial intelligence, assessing virtual environments, ADAS calibration, deep-learning systems, sensor fusion for AV development, and all the while ensuring that vehicles meet regulatory standards on safety and performance.
