This year’s EuroBrake highlighted the role of brake technology as a fundamental safety-critical component, alongside its expanding function in next-generation mobility engineering – from the development of safer vehicles and intelligent systems architectures to cleaner, more sustainable mobility.

Organized by FISITA and the EuroBrake Steering Committee, and held in Mainz, Germany, on June 1-3, the 14th edition of EuroBrake gathered speakers, 110 exhibitors and 1,100 delegates to explore brake emissions, Euro 7 readiness, software-defined braking and integrated system design in a rapidly evolving field.

A clear message emerged: braking is no longer a standalone component, but central to safety, sustainability, vehicle performance and intelligent system architecture.

At the inaugural Automated Mobility Summit, which took place at Innovation Park Zurich on May 4-5, 2026, discussions focused on integrating autonomous mobility with public transportation. Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo’s Charlotte Iggulden spoke with Vibeke Harlem, director – radical innovation at Ruter, about Norway’s new service to scale autonomous mobility and achieve fully driverless operations by 2027.

What is your involvement with PAVE Europe? 

I’ve been a board member for over two years and now serve as vice chair, invited due to my experience in autonomous mobility.

What motivated you to participate in the Automated Mobility Summit?

Road safety in the future will rely much more on the quality of data than on its quantity – which is sometimes abundant compared with actual needs. Geographical coverage, granularity, temporal accuracy and proximity to the critical point where a driver assistance system must intervene in fractions of a second may be crucial.

The quality of the information often requires integration between road infrastructure and driver-assisted vehicles.

Data collection methods and tools: fixed and mobile

The commonly adopted fixed instruments available can be classified into the following types:

1. Pneumatic sensors
2.

Europe is close to scaling the deployment of autonomous vehicles as it moves from pilots to commercial operations, with a projected roll out of hundreds, if not thousands, of AVs within five years. This progress was evident at the inaugural Automated Mobility Summit, which was held on May 4-5, 2026, at Innovation Park Zurich, and hosted by SAAM and PAVE Europe.

With 300 attendees, 30+ speakers and live demonstrations, the summit predicts a promising autonomous future. Many technical and regulatory barriers have been addressed, legislation is advancing and institutions increasingly recognize the benefits of automated mobility – from improved safety and accessibility to reduced emissions and addressing driver shortages in logistics and freight.

During the inaugural Automated Mobility Summit, which took place at Innovation Park Zurich on May 4-5, 2026, Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo’s Charlotte Iggulden sat down with Lukas Neckermann, board member and co-founder, PAVE Europe, and co-founder of the Urban Places Lab, to discuss the complexities of the autonomous vehicle value chain and why the industry is at an inflection point – while technical and regulatory barriers have been addressed and legislation implemented, public acceptance remains the defining challenge

What is your involvement with PAVE Europe?

I was a co-founder and now serve on the board.

As regulators increasingly recognise the benefits of autonomous mobility, industry leaders stress that the technology must also be commercially viable to achieve widespread adoption.

At the 2026 Automated Mobility Summit, which took place on May 4-5 at Innovation Park Zurich, Switzerland, Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo’s Charlotte Iggulden spoke with Christian Lichtmannecker, head of business development – autonomous mobility at Mobileye and co‑founder and board member of PAVE Europe, about the economics of Mobility as a Service, the evolving AV value chain, and why the traditional automotive industry needs to keep an eye on the new kid on the block.

As AI continues to expand beyond the digital world into real-world applications, AAVI recently sat down with AEye to discuss the growing role of perception in the era of physical AI, in an exclusive interview first published in the April 2026 issue

Please describe your company.
At AEye, our focus is simple – we give machines sight. Just as systems like ChatGPT unlocked the value of digital intelligence, physical AI depends on the ability to perceive and understand the real world. We’re building the technology that enables that – delivering ‘vision’ optimized for machines.

Lucid Motors explores the details behind robotaxi readiness, including the development of its autonomy-ready platform – built for autonomy first, humans second

Most vehicles are designed for human drivers and then adapted for autonomous use. Lucid Motors, through its planned next-generation robotaxi service with Uber Technologies and autonomy platform partner Nuro, reimagines mobility, enabling passengers to work, read or relax while the vehicle continuously processes real-time data and makes driving decisions en route to its destination.

The Lucid Gravity platform was engineered with critical systems such as steering and braking redundancy built into the architecture from the earliest stages.

AAVI recently caught up with Xavier Banqué, strategic marketing manager at Trimble, to talk about the key trends driving location technologies, in a feature first published in the April 2026 issue.

Please can you introduce yourself to our readers?
Originally educated as a telecommunications engineer, I have a dual professional profile – covering both technical and business – resulting from a 20-year career that was focused on technical positions during the first decade before I transitioned to become a business strategist in the last 10 years, when I spearheaded a GNSS software company [Rokubun] as CEO and founder.

AAVI catches up with Pony.ai’s founder and CTO, Tiancheng Lou, following the company’s recent launch of PonyWorld 2.0, the latest upgrade to its proprietary world model and a major advance in the core training system behind its autonomous driving stack.

After validating the unit economics of robotaxi operations in two major metropolitan markets in China with its seventh-generation robotaxi fleet, Pony.ai is keen to speed commercialization across China and beyond. It is targeting a fleet of more than 3,000 vehicles by the end of this year, with deployments spanning 20 cities globally. Nearly half of those cities will be in overseas markets.
