The UK government's industrial strategy aims to support the connected and automated mobility (CAM) sector, projecting 38,000 new jobs and a £42bn market by 2035. To facilitate this, £150m will be allocated to the CAM Pathfinder programme, which tackles challenges in commercializing CAM vehicles. The programme operates until 2030 and funds projects focused on pioneering technologies and services. Additionally, the Automated Vehicles Act 2024 will allow for self-driving vehicles on UK roads by 2027, emphasizing safety and commercial pilot programs for bus and taxi services.
The UK government aims to create over 38,000 jobs in a connected and automated mobility (CAM) industry projected to be worth over £42bn by 2035, with an additional £150m in funding.
The Automated Vehicles Act 2024 will facilitate safe usage of self-driving vehicles on British roads by eliminating the need for a safety driver, with full implementation by 2027.
The CAM Pathfinder programme is critical for overcoming challenges in commercializing CAM vehicles, aiming to fund projects that develop 'world-first' technologies until 2030.
Projects funded by CAM Pathfinder must ensure the developed technologies or mobility services enhance safety, sustainability, inclusiveness, and productivity across various industries.
