Automated mobility is a revolution on a comparable scale to what the train, aeroplane and car achieved in the past century.

Logistics providers need scalable, more sustainable and also economically meaningful solutions. This potential also arises from the fact that autonomous vehicles in particular can be multipurpose vehicles.

Serious accidents have fallen by 80 per cent in the last 50 years. And fully automated systems are now making the next step possible: The vision of accident-free driving is within reach.

The development of on-demand transport is one of the priorities of Geneva's public transport company (TPG). The long-term goal is to integrate automated vehicles in order to offer our customers additional flexibility to meet changing needs.

Automated driving will shape the mobility of the future and SAAM is making an important contribution to automated driving in Switzerland.

SAAM is a centre of excellence for automated mobility in Switzerland.

There are some repetitive or less attractive logistics tasks that are well suited to automation. It is important that this technology is seen as a useful addition and not as a complete replacement.

The topic is of strategic importance to me. We don't yet know exactly how fast this will happen or how important it will be. But I am convinced it will be a reality and will become part of public transport in the future.

SAAM offers an interdisciplinary collaboration platform with a common goal: to drive forward automated mobility solutions in Switzerland. In my opinion, SAAM recognised early on the potential of securing for Switzerland a leading role in the field of automated mobility over the long term.
