On 23 May 2025, the national final review of the AI4CSM project took place in Brno, chaired by a representative of the national provider (Ministry of Education and Science). The review of the Czech partner BUT took place in parallel.
The AI4CSM (Automotive Intelligence for Connected Shared Mobility) project focused on the development of advanced electronic components, systems and architecture for next generation mass-produced ECAS vehicles. The acronym ECAS stands for the key characteristics of these vehicles – Electric, Connected, Autonomous and Shared. The project aims to accelerate the digital transformation in the automotive industry to support modern mobility trends and contribute to the transition to a sustainable green and digital economy. ECAS vehicles, which integrate intelligent functions and modular systems, play a crucial role in implementing the principles of the European Green Deal.
The Board of Reviewers unanimously recognised the results and contributions of both Czech partners and rated their work as V- outstanding results of international importance.
The project was co-financed by PPP from the European Commission, the Ministry of Education and Science and the participants’ own co-financing.
