Moving from Pilots to Progress 🚗🚀 The SDV APPG recently hosted parliamentarians and industry for its latest event, digging into what automated ride-hailing could mean for the UK, hot on the heels of regulatory progress. Featuring a brilliant panel from across the AV world.👇

From accessibility for blind and partially sighted passengers, to what it'll take to continue to drive progress on the introduction of AVs to UK roads — a busy room, a great discussion, and no shortage of opinions on where this sector goes next! ⚡

🚘⚡ The future of mobility is here! In February, the SDV APPG was delighted to co-host a Future of Transport event with the APPGs for Electric Vehicles, Transport Safety, and Cycling & Walking.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Baroness Randerson, who was an officer of the APPG. Baroness Randerson was a committed and hardworking member of the House of Lords.

Our hearts are full of grief and sadness today at the passing of our own Jenny Randerson. Jenny was a great friend and colleague to us all, and worked so hard for the Lib Dem group in the Lords, as she'd done for the Party the whole of her life. She was one of the very best.

Among a number of other roles during her long career of public service, she served as Lib Dem transport spokesperson during the AV Act’s passage through Parliament last year. We are grateful for her support for the industry and for her help getting this APPG established.

Parliament has now been dissolved and so the Self-Driving Vehicles APPG no longer exists. We will be reconstituting the APPG after the election period to continue our important work.
