Scope

The topic funds one large-scale demonstrator of AI-enabled electric autonomous mobility services at automation level 4 in urban traffic. Cities or urban agglomerations partner with mobility service providers and operators, vehicle manufacturers, technology providers, research entities and public transport operators.

Activities

• preparing integration, operations and deployment of autonomous vehicles in 5 to 7 city pilots in 5 or more Member States or associated countries
• at least one cross-border pilot between adjacent cities to demonstrate interoperability across national rules and infrastructure
• mandatory sharing of data, AI models and experience across all pilots through an agreed scheme
• prototyping equipment, integrating vehicles into transport systems, initial demonstrations in real traffic, and scaling and financing roadmaps
• guidance on safety, approvals, certification, procurement and infrastructure integration

Expected outcomes

Commercially scalable autonomous mobility services, stronger competitiveness of European vehicle and technology providers, safer and more sustainable urban mobility, and reduced regulatory and operational barriers to deployment.

Technology readiness

Activities are expected to reach TRL 8 by the end of the project.
