SHOW Final Event: Achievements and the road ahead
September 26
After nearly five years, the SHOW project is coming to a close. This immense undertaking has involved almost 80 partners across 13 countries and 22 pilot sites.
Through real-world operations, SHOW has generated a wealth of knowledge by directly addressing the mobility needs of passengers and logistics clients. Our pilots have driven hundreds of thousands of kilometres, and we have completed numerous passenger rides safely, providing valuable data on everything from vehicle performance to user experience.
The SHOW Final Event will take stock of all project achievements, with a look forward to how that knowledge can be applied and replicated by cities, PTOs and industry now and in the future to ensure CCAM services can fulfil their potential and help deliver sustainable, inclusive and efficient mobility.
The SHOW Final Event takes place on Thursday 26 September in Tampere, Finland with a full-day conference programme followed by a networking reception. There will also be ample opportunities to experience the AV operations at the local pilot site.
