Testing in a real-life city means you can put solutions through their paces in the everyday environment where they’ll ultimately function. At London’s SMLL we provide an authentic experience, generating trial data and conclusions that are visible, reliable and credible – trusted by commercial investors and clients as well as end consumers.

Consumer trust in new solutions is critical. From initial trials to wider pilot programmes, people want to be sure that CAM solutions have been thoroughly tested in real-world situations. At SMLL, we take testing from the Digital Twin environment to the managed SMLL testbed and ultimately out onto the UK’s roads. Customers can test their service concepts and solutions at scale.

There is huge investment in the UK into CAV/CAM, and investors like to see evidence of progress. SMLL benefits from the proximity of London’s international financial centre and the centre for innovation. London is one of the highest investing areas in mobility technologies outside the US and China. 

By keeping the bulk of trials in London, the impact of their investment in R&D remains highly visible to the investment community.

We’re well positioned to launch, develop and extend trials to a level that will provide the evidence everyone needs for approval and mass market commercial adoption.
