UK CAM Roadmap to 2035: Opportunities for CAM

The strategic case for Connected and Automated Mobility in the UK, linking CAM directly to pressing national challenges in safety, labour, economic growth and transport equity.

About this report

Drawing on a literature review, two stakeholder workshops with private and public sector leaders, and complementary interviews, the report maps seven primary opportunities where CAM has the greatest potential to deliver transformative impact — and five secondary opportunities where CAM acts as an enabler for broader transport goals.

For each opportunity, the report presents the underlying transport challenge, the specific role CAM can play in addressing it, and a hypothetical use case with an indicative deployment timeline to 2035.

Key findings

  • Road safety is CAM’s most immediate opportunity

  • Labour shortages in freight and bus sectors create urgent demand

  • The economic case is substantial and cross-sector

  • Inclusive and accessible mobility is both a social and regulatory imperative

This report provides

  • For policymakers: The evidence base for why CAM investment is justified and how it connects to transport, economic and net zero policy goals. 
  • For operators and industry: A clear mapping of the deployment environments with the strongest near-term commercial case — ports, airports, freight, rural demand-responsive transport — with use cases and timelines.
  • For investors: The economic opportunity framing, market size projections and sector-by-sector analysis needed to assess where to deploy capital in the UK CAM supply chain.
  • For researchers and academics: The identified gaps and uncertainties: regulatory readiness, public acceptance and business model viability, defining where further research and evidence is needed.
