Autonomous Drive Ambition Cities (IA) - Apply AI

About this grant

Expected Outcome: Development and demonstration of AI-enabled electric autonomous mobility services (level 4) in urban traffic, improving safety, sustainability, data sharing and commercial scalability across cities, through a large-scale demonstrator integrating 5 - 7 co-ordinated city pilots in 5 or more Member States or associated countries including at least one cross-border pilot between adjacent cities - to bring near-to-market autonomous driving technologies into real operations: Delivery on the Apply AI Strategy flagship action “Autonomous Drive Ambition Cities” by bridging the gap between high technical maturity and sustainable commercial deployment in cities. Strengthened competitiveness of European base vehicle manufacturers, AD technology stack providers, mobility service brokers, and mobility service operators through real-world deployment opportunities as addressed by the European Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Alliance (ECAVA), in particular its working group on Autonomous Driving deployment. Safer, more sustainable and accessible urban mobility through the integration of electric autonomous vehicles. Demonstration of scalable autonomous mobility services and vehicles in real-traffic urban environments using mature autonomous driving technologies. Improved access to and secure sharing of data as well as AI models and tools to support the development, testing, validation and safe operation of autonomous driving systems. Demonstration of a scalable, future-proo... EU contribution per project: EUR 10,000,000 to EUR 15,000,000 (euros, not converted). UK organisations can apply as the UK is associated to Horizon Europe.
