The capacity for transport automation is becoming progressively more significant across Europe and beyond; the commitment to achieve connected and cooperative automated mobility (CCAM) has been enshrined in both the United Nation\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> (SDGs) based on the 2015 Paris agreement, as well as through the European Green Deal.<\/p>\n Currently, Autonomous and Connected Transport trials are taking place over the world, concentrating on autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, mobility-as-a-service and drones. In these areas, cities and businesses have started competing, including some of the largest companies in the world like Tesla, as well as small start-ups. As a result, the industry has made massive advances in the last few years, but, in many cases, this has also led to an over-focus on technology and an overlooking of the user element.<\/p>\n As the data in this area become more significant and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved, European authorities have a core role to play in considerations such as liability, ethics, and business models. In 2020, the European Union released guidelines concerning AI and ethics, as it is a longer process to create frameworks for transport and mobility. Thus, until now, there has been limited research into the broader associations of transport automation, such as infrastructure development and human and environmental impact.<\/p>\nDeveloping a framework for autonomous transport<\/h3>\n
