SHOW 2nd Pan-European Workshop – Which path for a meaningful, sustainable and feasible CCAM in Europe?

September 30, 2021 @ 11:30 am - 4:30 pm

SHOW is moving towards its demonstration phase, in which fleets of shared Connected and Cooperative Automated Vehicles (CCAV) will be tested in 13 European countries in real life environments.

After 1,5 years and in preparation of the demonstrations next year, the SHOW partners have developed vehicle technologies, physical and digital infrastructure, business models, impact assessment methods, as well as added-value services based on AI and Big Data. But the project has also unveiled challenges that need to be addressed in order to ensure a meaningful deployment of CCAV in terms of technical feasibility and sustainability.

What are these challenges and how can we address them in Europe? What is missing in Europe in terms of regulations, infrastructure, manufacturing industries, or even citizens awareness to achieve a CCAM that we would define as meaningful? How do we want to position Europe in comparison with the strong competition from the USA or several countries from the Asia-Pacific region?

In the workshop, speakers from European and national governmental bodies, industry, public authorities and academia will try to find answers to these questions based on concrete experiences from the SHOW project and other initiatives.
