CCAM (Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility) is not just about self-driving cars but has many public and shared transport applications as well. However, automated or semi-automated driving presents challenges to several groups of passengers, especially in scenarios where no driver is present. This PAVECast will explore existing public transport services in Europe using CCAM-enabled vehicles: What were the successful use cases? What barriers were encountered with respect to accessibility, in particular with potentially vulnerable groups? How were staff deployed (safety driver, on-board assistant or remote operator) and why? 

Guests will include experts from the SINFONICA project, which is creating strategies, methods, and tools to engage CCAM users, providers, and other stakeholders develop public and shared transport services using CCAM that are inclusive and equitable for all citizens. Invited guests from outside the SINFONICA project will also give their perspectives in a discussion session.
