Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV)

Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) are cars equipped with advanced technologies that allow them to communicate with each other, infrastructure, and other devices (connected), and to operate with little or no human input (automated). These vehicles use sensors, cameras, and sophisticated software to navigate safely, reduce traffic congestion, and improve road safety. Connected capabilities enable real-time information sharing, helping cars make better decisions. Automated features include driving assistance and autonomous driving. Overall, CAVs aim to create safer, more efficient transportation systems by combining connectivity and automation.
