Thank you to our members, partners and friends for your contribution to another year of progress in connected and automated transport. We wish you a restful and enjoyable holiday season and look forward to returning in 2026 with renewed momentum. Warm regards, The CCAT Team

CCAT Chair, Ian Webb reflects on why the future of connected and automated vehicles depends not just on tech, but on stronger trust and genuine collaboration between government and industry.

Brisbane City Councillor Andrew Wines shared a timely reminder at the National Future Transport Summit that, in order to improve our transport system, governments must listen to the views of industry and community.

In this conversation, Simon Berry shares why connected and automated transport offers a pathway to safer, more reliable journeys as we plan for the future. As human distraction increases, reducing reliance on human operation will be key to improving transport outcomes.
