The document provides an agenda and overview for a Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) Cohort Workshop on December 14th, 2021. The agenda includes introductions from heads of CCAV and Future Regulations discussing key outcomes and areas of focus. There will also be presentations on the state of CAV development in the UK and potential use cases. The workshop aims to facilitate discussion and networking among innovators in the CAV field.

⢠Isobel Pastor â Head of CCAV â Welcome and Scene Setter
⢠Jamie / Jenny â Head of Future Regs â Key Outcomes from the Law Commissions' of England, Wales and
Scotland.
⢠David Webb â Head of Innovation â Potential Areas of Focus post SR
11. Key outputs of the Law Commission review
New legal entities
Ensuring liability can be responsibly relocated
Authorised Self-Driving Entity (ASDE)
Liable for performance of self-driving
User-in-Charge (UiC)
Occupant retaining non-driving task responsibilities, e.g.
insurance
Licensed Fleet Operator
Responsible for vehicle with no user-in-charge
New assurance process
Enabling conclusion that liability
can be transferred away from the
occupant(s)
Can the ASDE assume liability for when a
vehicle is driving itself?
Can the vehicle continue to drive itself safely
throughout its life?
In the event of an incident, what went wrong
and why?
What sanctions should be applied to the
ASDE if something goes wrong?
How is the UiC educated on use of the
vehicle?
New monitoring & enforcement
process
Enabling sanctions against ASDEs
failing to meet expectations
New incident investigation
Improving learning and overall
safety
What lessons can be learnt to improve the
assurance process?
New regulatory framework on self-driving activity

Private Land
No public access
Automated Vehicle deployments on Private Land as a potential
early commercial use case.
Utilising key AV technologies in (much more) controlled
environments to deliver significantly / suitably constrained
missions without requirements to meet Road Traffic Act (1988).
Depot Operations â Moving vehicles around at the start and end
of their operational duty
Airside Operations â Moving people and / or goods
Increased safety and efficiency.
14. December 21
Low Speed Logistics
Public Spaces
Small(er), slow(er) speed logistics operations as a first commercial
deployment of CAM operating in public spaces.
These smaller vehicles are designed to have zero human occupancy,
utilising new and novel vehicle designs for optimum payload.
Successful deployments in the US (Nuro) and announced public
partnerships here in the UK highlight the opportunity.
Low Speed Logistics have the opportunity to change how people
consider local journeys (groceries) and how parcels could move in the
last mile (or so).
However, consideration must be given to potential impact on active
travel and engagement with vulnerable road users.
15. December 21
Low Speed Passenger
Public Spaces
Low Speed Passenger services have been trialled across
the UK (and globally) operating across almost all viable
driving surfaces.
Deployments will need to bring together parties to deliver
long term, beneficial services that support the nine Future
of Mobility Urban Strategy Principles.
1. ...must be safe and secure by design.
2. ⌠benefits of innovation ⌠must be available to all âŚ
3. âŚactive travel must remain the best option for short
urban journeys
4. Mass transit must remain fundamental ....
5. âŚlead the transition to zero emissions.
6. âŚreduce congestion ...
7. âŚgive the best deal to consumers.
8. âŚoperate as part of an integrated transport system ....
9. Data ⌠must be shared ⌠to improve choice and âŚ
operation of the transport system.

(Human) Driver in the Loop
Public Spaces
Companies are looking to deploy automated bus services.
These will typically maintain some aspect of a human operator on
board, initially in the drivers seat (ala safety driver), potentially
moving to be a roving âbus captainâ in time, only returning to the
drivers seat for specific tasks.
Early deployment in this space will be in depot operations (private
land) building confidence in systems and capabilities.
Two CCAV funded projects will be deploying AV buses in the next 18
months (CAVFORTH, MultiCAV) both carrying passengers on UK
roads.
Is there an opportunity here to enhance the safety and efficiency of
HGV movements, both in interurban and urban spaces?
Other Companies existâŚ

Future of Mobility â Urban Strategy
Nine Principles
In facilitating innovation in urban mobility for freight, passengers and services, the Governmentâs approach will be
underpinned as far as possible by the following Principles:
1. New modes of transport and new mobility services must be safe and secure by design.
2. The benefits of innovation in mobility must be available to all parts of the UK and all segments of society.
3. Walking, cycling and active travel must remain the best options for short urban journeys.
4. Mass transit must remain fundamental to an efficient transport system.
5. New mobility services must lead the transition to zero emissions.
6. Mobility innovation must help to reduce congestion through more efficient use of limited road space, for example
through sharing rides, increasing occupancy or consolidating freight.
7. The marketplace for mobility must be open to stimulate innovation and give the best deal to consumers.
8. New mobility services must be designed to operate as part of an integrated transport system combining public,
private and multiple modes for transport users.
9. Data from new mobility services must be shared where appropriate to improve choice and the operation of the
transport system.
19. December 21
Supply Chain
Or is it a value chain?
Supporting our interest in commercialisable deployments we are also considering how government intervention can
solidify the UK CAM supply / value chain.
We are working with ZENZIC to review past work in this space and would ask you to think about your own supply / value
chainsâŚ
⢠Who are your suppliers? Who do you supply?
⢠What technologies are key parts of your supply chain?
⢠Is your technology a key part of someone elseâs supply chain? Why?
⢠How do you think about readiness?
⢠What do you need to capitalise on your technology / capability?
