The CCAM Association has published a new report titled Learning for deployment of Robotaxis at scale, exploring what Europe can learn from early robotaxi operations around the world. The report analyses real-world deployments in leading markets and highlights key insights for policymakers, cities, and industry as Europe prepares for the next phase of connected, cooperative and automated mobility.

“Robotaxis” (SAE Level 4 automated vehicles) have already been deployed in several markets worldwide, most notably in the United States and China. In Europe, shared electric CCAM solutions are considered an important enabler to help meet the EU’s greenhouse gas reduction targets while supporting more efficient and accessible mobility services.

The report addresses two key questions: what lessons can be drawn from existing commercial robotaxi deployments, and what critical knowledge gaps remain before robotaxis can be successfully integrated into European mobility ecosystems.

To answer these questions, the report explores issues such as safety and security, integration into the wider mobility system, business perspectives, and the role of public authorities in enabling successful deployment and scaling. It concludes with a set of recommendations for regulators, public authorities, and other stakeholders.

The report was authored by researchers from the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI), led by Inga Skogsmo and Ingrid Beiker, with contributions from international experts. It draws on stakeholder interviews, workshops, literature review, and first-hand experiences of existing robotaxi services in the United States and China.
