For research subscription, contactkrungsri.research@krungsri.com Introduction Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) have attracted sustained interest from technology developers and automobilemanufacturers worldwide due to their transformative potential for the automotive and transportationindustries. These vehicles utilize advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), computer vision,and sensor systems to enable self-driving capabilities, reducing or eliminating the need for human drivers.AVs operate by processing real-time data from strategically positioned sensors and cameras installedaround the vehicle. Currently, AVs are in use in select regions, notably in China and the United States,where they serve purposes such as passenger transportation and goods delivery. Many companies globallyare working to improve the efficiency and reliability of AV technologies and related systems. Furthermore,technological innovation and sustainability have emerged as two significant global megatrends.BecauseAVs align with both trends, they are widely viewed as a “vision for the future of travel andtransportation.” The widespread adoption of AVs is expected to support urban development, driveinnovation, and contribute to sustainable economic growth.

Every day, millions of people travel using variousmodes of transport, such as cars, buses, trains, airplanes, and ships, for different purposes—fromcommuting to work and leisure travel to delivering goods to their destinations. In the modern era,globalmegatrends such as technological advancement, climate change, rapid urbanization, and demographicshifts significantly influence the development of smart mobility, particularly in urban areas. In the context of industry, the development of smart city transportation is guided by theacronym "CASE1/," which stands for: C–Connected:This refers to intelligent connectivity, where vehicles are developed to connectand communicate with other vehicles or infrastructure, such as intelligent traffic systems and digital trafficsigns. This enhances safety and efficiency in travel and allows for advanced warnings about trafficconditions or accidents ahead. A–Autonomous:This refers to self-driving vehicles that can drive themselves using sensortechnology and advanced computational systems to detect and respond to their environment. This helpsreduce accidents caused by human error and improves travel convenience. S–Shared:This refers to shared mobility, such as car-sharing or ride-sharing services, whichreduce the number of vehicles on the road, decrease emissions, save on travel costs, and help alleviatetraffic congestion in large cities. E–Electric:This refers to vehicles powered by electricity (Electric Vehicles: EVs) instead ofinternal combustion engines that rely on gasoline or diesel. EVs do not emit exhaust pollution as they arepowered by rechargeable batteries, helping to reduce emissions during use and save energy. Additionally,EVs can further reduce greenhouse gas emissions if charged using renewable energy sources. In summary, the development of smart cities is a key approach that will help shape the future ofthe automotive industry and serve as a cornerstone for developing sustainable and efficient urbantransportation innovations
