The UK Government has launched a Call For Evidence into Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) in the UK, asking questions both about the CAM supply chain but also about CAM’s potential impact on transport but also wider impacts on the UK. 

The Call for Evidence can be found here.

The consultation from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles asks for evidence around a range of topics from the CAM supply chain to CAM's potential to impact on Net Zero ambitions, levelling-up and attracting investment in the UK. 

In the Ministerial foreword, Lord Grimstone of Boscobel, Minister for Investment, says:

"Technology will drive radical changes within the transport sector over the next 10 years and beyond. We have the opportunity to shape these changes to have a profound positive impact for the environment, transport users and businesses. 

Within these changes, connected and automated mobility is set to be a key disrupter of global transport over the coming 2 decades, enabling greener, safer, easier, and more productive journeys. And it is where many of the high value jobs of the future could be, in areas like artificial intelligence, machine learning, agile design, simulation, cyber security and fleet management. "
