Futuristic autonomous electric vehicle on a modern British city street at dusk

Building Britain’s Autonomous Mobility Network

Autonomous Mobility UK is developing the partnerships, infrastructure and operating capability required to deploy safe, affordable autonomous passenger services across the United Kingdom.

Cleaner Transport

All-electric autonomous fleets can support cleaner, quieter and more efficient urban transport.

Greater Access

Affordable, reliable mobility can improve access to employment, education, healthcare, leisure and transport hubs.

Stronger Local Economies

Autonomous mobility can support tourism, local investment, infrastructure development and new forms of transport employment.

Connected Communities

Better first-and-last-mile connections can help people move more easily between homes, stations, workplaces and town centres.

The Next Generation of Urban Mobility

A safer, cleaner,
more connected future.

Purpose-built autonomous passenger vehicles have the potential to change how people move around UK towns and cities. By reducing the dependency on driver availability while combining electric propulsion, modern fleet management and intelligent dispatch, autonomous mobility could make convenient point-to-point transport available to more people at more times of day.

Vehicles such as Tesla Cybercab demonstrate how this next generation of mobility may evolve: compact, electric, purpose-built and designed around autonomous operation.

Working Together

Partnering with
local authorities

Autonomous Mobility UK is beginning engagement with local authorities across Britain to explore potential future autonomous passenger deployments tailored to local transport priorities.

  • Understand local transport priorities
  • Explore controlled pilot opportunities
  • Develop safe, phased deployment plans
  • Support first-and-last-mile transport
  • Explore links with rail, tourism and employment centres
  • Build evidence before scaling
  • Support local economic growth

A Collaborative Approach

Technology, infrastructure and expertise

Autonomous Mobility UK is being developed as a technology-neutral fleet and deployment platform. We are seeking to work with leading autonomous vehicle manufacturers, technology providers, insurers, infrastructure partners and public-sector organisations to identify the safest and most commercially viable solutions for each deployment.

Vehicle Platforms
Autonomous Driving Technology
Charging & Infrastructure
Insurance & Risk Partners
Fleet Finance
Local Authorities & Transport Bodies

Our role is not to develop autonomous driving software. Our role is to turn approved autonomous vehicle technology into safe, scalable and commercially sustainable passenger services.

Our Approach

Pilot first. Prove the model. Scale responsibly.

A disciplined five-stage framework designed around safety, evidence and local partnership.

01

Engage

Work with local authorities and transport bodies to understand the local mobility opportunity.

02

Assess

Analyse passenger demand, road suitability, operating zones, infrastructure and commercial viability.

03

Approve

Work through the required vehicle, passenger-service and local authority regulatory processes.

04

Pilot

Launch a carefully controlled initial fleet within an agreed operational area.

05

Scale

Expand vehicle numbers and operating zones based on safety, demand and real-world performance.

These figures represent illustrative deployment concepts only. Actual vehicle numbers, timing and locations will depend on vehicle availability, regulatory approval, local authority consent, insurance and commercial viability.

The opportunity extends far beyond London

London will naturally attract significant autonomous vehicle investment. But many of Britain’s regional cities and towns also present compelling opportunities for autonomous mobility.

Milton Keynes
Wolverhampton
Coventry
Bristol
Nottingham
Southampton
Portsmouth
Eastbourne
Hastings & St Leonards

Why Now?

Autonomous mobility is moving from concept to deployment

Autonomous passenger technology is advancing rapidly. Commercial autonomous services are emerging internationally, purpose-built autonomous vehicles are entering production, and the United Kingdom is developing a dedicated regulatory framework for Automated Passenger Services.

This creates an important window for UK fleet operators, local authorities, infrastructure providers and technology companies to begin preparing for deployment before autonomous passenger services reach mass adoption.

The infrastructure, partnerships and operating capability need to be built before the vehicles arrive.

Current Development Phase — 2026

Preparing for deployment

Autonomous Mobility UK is currently in its development and partnership phase. We are assessing prospective UK deployment markets, beginning engagement with local authorities and industry participants, and developing the regulatory, infrastructure and commercial framework required for future autonomous passenger fleet operations.
