The Centre for Connected and Automated Transport is spearheading a strategic initiative to advance the transition to connected and automated transport in Australia. The National Future Transport Summit (the Summit) will be a catalyst for Australia to maximise safety, sustainability and productivity in future transport, especially through connectivity and automation. The Summit will be unique in the transport sector; it will be a collaborative effort between government agencies, industry players, transport related associations, academia and community groups, and will lead to a set of recommendations agreed by all members of this collective.
