CCAT Aiming to move Aus and NZ safely and successfully into the era of connected and automated transport.

Self-driving vehicles will make driving easier, allow people to be more productive and offer greater mobility to a wider range of people than ever before. They will also help improve road safety, reduce emissions, and ease congestion. As a result, self-driving vehicles will provide significant economic, environmental and social benefits, including improving social inclusion. The key thrust of the

Australian Driverless Vehicle Initiative is to build momentum by rapidly exploring the impacts and requirements of this new technology in a truly Australian context and making recommendations on ways to safely and successfully bring self-driving vehicles to Australian roads.

Road safety was front and centre in Perth last week, as CCAT hosted a stakeholder event on transport technologies for safer roads. Supported by RAC WA, the event brought together government and industry voices to discuss how connected and automated transport technologies can help turn around WA's road toll.

A huge thanks to our speakers for leading such an important discussion:
Rob Slocombe, Group CEO and Executive Director, RAC WA
Adrian Warner, Road Safety Commissioner, Road Safety Commission
Peter Woronzow, Director General, Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure
Professor Teresa Senserrick, Director, WA Centre for Road Safety Research

The conversation covered everything from smarter intersections and regional AV trials to the importance of building genuine public trust in new technology. A timely discussion as WA continues to grapple with a rising road toll while being home to the worlds largest deployment of automated vehicles in the mining sector.

Autonomous road trains are moving closer to commercial deployment in Western Australia.

CCAT Executive Director Rahila David was in Perth today with Simon Stone and the AORA Solutions team, getting an up-close look at their autonomous road train technology following its first public demonstration.

The visit was a chance to hear more about the progress being made and what comes next as AORA prepares to deploy the technology commercially in WA.

Thanks to Simon and the AORA team for having CCAT along.

We're delighted to welcome Vision Australia as the newest member of the Centre for Connected and Automated Transport (CCAT).

Australia's leading provider of services, technology and resources for people with blindness and low vision, Vision Australia brings more than 150 years of experience advocating for a future where everyone can participate fully in community life.

While connected and automated transport is expected to transform independence, mobility and inclusion for people who are blind or have low vision, this potential will only be realised if accessibility is treated as a fundamental design principle and not an afterthought. Vision Australia brings an important perspective to the future of connected and automated transport, championing accessibility, inclusive design and meaningful consultation from the very beginning.

At CCAT, we believe the future of transport must be shaped by the people it will serve. Having Vision Australia join our national network strengthens our ability to identify barriers early, influence policy and ensure emerging technologies deliver better outcomes for all Australians.

Every road death is one too many.

The latest figures from the National Road Safety Data Hub show 1,325 people lost their lives on Australian roads in the year ending 30 June 2026 – a national toll that has increased in every one of the past five years.

Australia is working towards the goal of zero deaths and serious injuries on our roads by 2050 but reaching this goal will require more than traditional approaches. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), automated driving systems, connected vehicles and smart infrastructure are creating new opportunities to prevent crashes before they happen and make our roads safer for everyone.

Join CCAT in Perth for Transport technologies for safer roads on Wednesday 26 August 2026.

Hear from leaders across government, industry and research as they discuss key challenges and the opportunities for innovation and technology to strengthen Australia's road safety strategies, accelerate adoption of proven solutions and help shift the dial towards Vision Zero.
