Autonomous mobility

Autonomous vehicles will fundamentally change mobility as we know it today.

The mission of the Swiss Association for Autonomous Mobility (SAAM) is to enable the introduction of new technologies and offerings in Switzerland for the common good.

Regulation

SAAM provides a platform to develop guiding principles and regulations around the safe and publicly acceptable introduction of autonomous vehicles.

Social Acceptance

SAAM proves how autonomous vehicles can be sustainably implemented while maintaining public acceptance.

 
 

Technology

SAAM explores best technological practices for Swiss conditions and actively works to attract technology companies for state-of-the-art projects in Switzerland.

What drives us

Here are some reviews from key mobility stake holders and from members of SAAM.

Thomas Probst
University of Fribourg, SwissMoves
Professor of Law
"A car is more than the sum of its technical pieces; mobility is more than the sum of all available means of transport - so let's conceive automated mobility as something bigger than its elements."

"Switzerland profited tremendously from its pioneering role in the rail sector. We must stay on top of the game for the next paradigm shift in mobility."

Emilio Frazzoli

Professor of Dynamic Systems and Control
"The main challenge and opportunity in Switzerland is developing the necessary policies and regulations so that autonomous mobility can be integrated with the current mass transit and public transportation options, with a demonstrable positive impact on society, economy, and environment. "

""Autonomous driving will change mobility as fundamentally as the internet has changed the economy and this is not just a distant dream of the future. Partially autonomous driving (level 3) is technologically feasible today and will change our mobility permanently.""

Marc Chatelain
Geneva public transport
COO
"Together with the uprising of new forms of propulsion (electric), the wide spreading of smartphones and with the development of new priorities among the population (less owned property, more sharing, environmental issues, etc), mobility will be revolutionized in the coming 15 years. Autonomous vehicles will play a major role in this evolution."
