SYNERGIES: A European Scenario Dataspace for Safety Validation of CCAM Systems

• Introducing the SYNERGIES Scenario Dataspace: a federated, interoperable European repository enabling access to real and synthetic driving scenarios for CCAM development, testing, and validation.
• From European datasets to harmonized metadata: how SYNERGIES ensures semantic, pragmatic, and technical interoperability across diverse scenario sources and tools.
• Integration of scenario generation, qualification, and governance: presenting a unified framework linking physical testing, simulation, AI-based scenario creation, and safety assurance needs.
• Synergies with ongoing International Initiatives and alignment with the European strategy for data spaces and CCAM safety validation.
• Expected impact for industry and regulators: enabling scalable scenario-based validation across OEMs, suppliers, technical services, and research organizations.

Operation of L4

Update on Fleet L4 Operations in the USA: Robotaxis and Trucking

• Commercial road autonomy has gained significant momentum both in terms of geographic footprint and number of trips.  How will this evolve?
• Safety performance, as reported by operators, is promising. What are key approaches?
• For robotaxis, Waymo is the dominant player, while several other companies have also transitioned to commercial operations.  Which companies can provide significant competition? 
• Autonomous trucking is seeing extensive development, testing, and deployment across private grounds, streets, and highways.  2025 saw the advent of driverless highway trucking but only at a small scale; 2026 will see a spike in driverless operations.  
• The role of OEMs is quite strong for trucking, whereas passcar OEMs are in the background for robotaxis.
