Description
How advanced are the automotive, aviation, and Urban Air Mobility sectors in commercializing automated and autonomous mobility solutions? To address this question, this paper assesses different readiness factors, analyzed with insights from industry experts and complemented with findings on public perception, collected through a comprehensive survey. It also provides a cross-industry analysis to identify common challenges and different stages of development. While technically feasible, the solutions face difficulties in addressing edge cases and navigating regulatory requirements. Despite technological advancements, economic viability is not guaranteed. Moreover, public trust, for which familiarity with the technology is crucial, is also important.
