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.

Jürg Wittwer

Touring Club Switzerland, Chief Executive Officer

Board Member

""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.""

Stefano Longo

Embotech

Head of Automotive

"As a Swiss company working on autonomous mobility, we are extremely grateful that SAAM exists. This is our opportunity to shape the driving automation roadmaps of our home country, bringing back the knowledge we have acquired from many years working with international customers and innovators."

Robert Bichsel

Siemens Mobility AG

Product Owner

"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."

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."

Marco Fuster

Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe

Head of Corporate Development

"Automated driving enables society to make its mobility more efficient, safer and more ecological."

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."

Dominique Scheller

PostAuto

Head of Development and Innovation

"Autonomous mobility makes last-mile access and remote regions economically feasible."

Emilio Frazzoli

ETH Zurich

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. "
