PAVE EU publishes White Paper on the benefits of autonomous mobility solutions

The White Paper “Safer, Cleaner, More Equitable: Seizing the Opportunities of Highly Automated Vehicles”, written by PAVE Europe¹ Working Group on Understanding, Trust and Acceptance, provides a holistic perspective on the current state of autonomous mobility, its benefits and its challenges. It serves an accessible guide for the general public, press, and policymakers to better understand and embrace the opportunities that are presented by autonomous mobility. The publication is the first in a planned series of white papers designed to target specific audiences and use cases.

“By addressing the current landscape of automated vehicles, along with their benefits and challenges, we hope to create greater awareness and foster public trust in this technology”, said Karl Obermair, Chairman of PAVE Europe and Director of Future Mobility Solutions at TÜV Rheinland.

“Trust is a critical factor in the adoption of any new technology, especially one that is as impactful as automated vehicles,” added Ricco Kämpfer, Leader of the ‘Understanding, Trust and Acceptance’ Working Group, and Senior Consultant Autonomous Mobility at P3.

Key Highlights of the White Paper

• A clear overview of the current state of autonomous vehicle technology, including its potential for improving road safety, reducing emissions, and enhancing accessibility.
• In-depth exploration of relevant use cases to demystify how AV technology can be integrated into current systems.
• An educational resource for engaging communities and policymakers in meaningful conversations about the opportunities and challenges of autonomous mobility.

“This paper is designed to bridge the gap in knowledge and encourage informed discussions about how AVs can contribute to a safer, cleaner and more equitable future.” (Ricco Kämpfer)
