Abstract
This chapter is summarizing the findings of the EU-funded Coordination and Support Action “Safe and Connected Automation in Road Transport” (SCOUT) that has established a comprehensive and structured roadmap to describe innovation paths towards an accelerated development and deployment of high degree automated driving, i.e. particularly at SAE levels 4 and 5. With the involvement of a multitude of experts, the project assessed a number of use cases and development trends, identified societal goals and challenges, and formulated a future vision for connected and automated driving (CAD). It also analysed the state of play in technologies and business models, and it identified gaps and risks. Hurdles for achieving the vision have been recognized, actions to overcome those hurdles have been found at technical, societal, economical, human factors and legal layers, and interlinks between those actions have been described. Finally, opportunities to leapfrog hurdles for innovation in level 4/5 automated driving by a coordinated interplay of actions have been described for five specific use cases: automated on-demand shuttle, truck platooning, valet parking, delivery robot, and traffic-jam chauffeur.
