Presentation Description

The aims to gather knowledge from conference attendees on policies, regulations, technology advancements, and social and environmental impacts in connected and automated mobility. Based on information gathered beforehand, attendants will individually correct, complement, and complete a pre-filled template, leading to a facilitated discussion on comparisons between countries. The results will be summarized and further elaborated to create a country-specific semi-qualitative, semi-quantitative map that serves as evidence basis for informed decision making. A comparable activity, which could serve as input, is planned for the European Conference on Connected and Automated Driving on May 3-4, 2023 in Brussels, highlighting the importance of a global perspective on connected and automated mobility.
