Connected and Autonomous Mobility (CAM) solutions will have a wide-ranging impact on businesses whose products and services directly or indirectly support and connect with them.

SMLL gives everyone the chance to see how CAVs, their infrastructure and their users will work together in the real world. This insight will inform planning and decision-making for future-focused business in a wide range of sectors.

Technology companies developing software and automation systems need to understand the emerging urban environment so they can adapt products and keep ahead of demand. Telecommunications providers must anticipate and plan for new patterns of usage and growing volumes of critical data traffic. Energy businesses need to understand the fuel and power requirements of CAVs.

Architects and product designers, retailers, marketing and advertising businesses, consultancy and research firms and many others want to be ready for a changed urban environment. They will need to do things differently, acquire or replace current skills with new ones and provide information about how they are preparing, to satisfy their stakeholders and leaders and support future revenues.
