• PAVE UK welcomes three new organisations: Acorn Group, the Motability Foundation and Shoosmiths

• Expansion will broaden expertise across the self-driving ecosystem, providing a more holistic view

• PAVE UK is the country鈥檚 first initiative on enabling public trust and acceptance through evidence-based engagement and education programmes

Partners for Automated Vehicle Education United Kingdom (PAVE UK) has expanded its membership to include three new leading organisations from the insurance, accessibility, and legal sectors.

With the addition of Acorn Group, the Motability Foundation and Shoosmiths, PAVE UK is broadening the range of expertise shaping its work to build public trust and understanding of self-driving vehicle technology.

As the UK moves closer to the widespread deployment of automated vehicles, the three organisations will join existing members and global industry leaders, Wayve, Uber and Nissan, in a collaborative effort to educate the public, address common misconceptions and support the safe and responsible introduction of self-driving technology across the UK.

A new international standard has been published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), giving developers, test organisations, and regulators a common way to show that virtual testing results are trustworthy and suitable for supporting the safe evaluation of automated driving systems, speeding up safer deployment.

Co-led by Professor Siddartha Khastgir from Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), 91影视, and Benoit Anctil from Transport Canada, and supported by an international group of experts, it is the first international standard for a qualification scheme for virtual test environment (VTEs) for automated vehicles.

A 拢3m UK Government-backed autonomous driving research project led by Nissan in partnership with WMG and PAVE UK (Partners for Automated Vehicle Education UK) is set to revolutionise the future of mobility in the UK. ADventure will deploy a UK mobility service in Cambridge to explore how autonomous drive (AD) passenger services can be safely introduced to benefit real-world communities.

Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the 91影视 and , have received funding through the UK Government's latest to accelerate zero-emission vehicle innovation.

Delivered by the in partnership with the and , the DRIVE35 programme is part of the UK Government鈥檚 Advanced Manufacturing Sector Plan, which outlines its commitment to a zero-emission future, with an unprecedented 拢4 billion of grant funding available to 2035 for automotive research and development, scale-up, and transformation.

WMG and Aurrigo International plc have been awarded a combined 拢1.43m of UK Government funding to boost airport safety through self-driving innovation. This collaborative research project, known as SENTRY, aims to reduce airport delays and safety risks by developing a fully autonomous airside vehicle to complete routine tasks, including safety patrols, runway inspections and debris removal.

Transport for London has decided to license a number of Wayve vehicles for supervised private hire journeys through Uber, with a trained, TfL-licensed driver onboard throughout.

鈥淲e are delighted to see the adoption of the first-ever global rules for fully automated vehicles at the . This is a historic moment in the automated driving journey as this regulation - taking a technology neutral and use-case agnostic approach- establishes a set of uniform performance requirements and testing for automated driving.

鈥淭his will help prevent the fragmented approaches that have previously caused confusion and additional work for developers and regulators, while also driving improved safety, efficiency and public trust in the technology.
