Automated mobility refers to vehicles equipped with driving automation systems that can perform part or all of the dynamic driving task (DDT) -which includes steering, acceleration, braking, and monitoring the environment on a sustained basis. The vehicles and fleets count with the support of connectivity, automation, and AI. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) defines six levels of driving automation, from Level 0 (no driving automation) to Level 5 (full driving automation).

Application

Automated vehicles could be deployed in different manners, being of public or private ownership, and operated for instance as robo-taxis and automated shuttles integrated into public transport. In order to foster a multimodal and sustainable mobility, automated vehicles are expected to be shared, electric, integrated to public transport and offer on demand services.
