New research commissioned by the Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders (SMMT) has found the development of connected and autonomous vehicles will help generate 320,000 jobs in the UK, delivering huge benefits to society and the economy.
In the first comprehensive analysis of the UK opportunities provided by this new technology,1981 KPMG has found these new vehicles could deliver a US$81 billion boost to the UK economy and reduce serious road traffic accidents by more than 25,000 a year by 2030.
To exploit this opportunity, SMMT has set up a Connected and Autonomous Vehicles Forum. It will meet four times a year, bringing together SMMT members and stakeholders from government, key adjacent industries and academia closely involved in the advancement of connected and autonomous vehicles, to accelerate conversations, collaborations and partnerships. Membership of the Forum, about half of which comes from outside the automotive industry, is by invitation only.
