Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

The car and city of the future are here today in Coventry & Warwickshire.

Intelligent Mobility is the optimised movement of people and goods from point to point and is a growing part of the global economy. By 2025 it will be worth £900bn. It includes connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) and intelligent transport infrastructure. Nowhere else in the UK has the combination of technological creativity, the concentration of OEM automotive R&D and levels of investment in automotive as C&W. It is the home of Horiba MIRA, a leader in CAV technology which is developing a 2m sqft R&D Campus just outside Nuneaton.

Driverless vehicles of tomorrow are on test in Coventry Warwickshire today, with the Coventry-built Lutz Pathfinder by Aurrigo on test here and Milton Keynes, as well as mass-produced vehicles from Ford and JLR.

UK Connected Intelligent Transport Environment (UK CITE) - £7.1m project will enable automotive, infrastructure and service companies to trial connected vehicle technology, infrastructure and services in real-life conditions over the next two-and-a-half years on roads in Coventry and Warwickshire.
