Self-Driving Industry Awards 2025: Event best bits and media coverage
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the third annual Cars of the Future Self-Driving Industry Awards the biggest and best yet!
Supported by an array of prestigious partners – BSI, CCAV, Cenex, ITS UK, PAVE UK, Tech UK and Zenzic – along with our charity partner this year, BEN – it brought together inspirational global leaders and showcased a spectacular selection of automated vehicles.
Special thanks to Chris Curtis MP, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Self-Driving, who presented the flagship Vehicle of the Year award to the all-new Enviro100AEV bus by Alexander Dennis and Fusion Processing.
