Background: The UK CAV Testing infrastructure Vision
The UK has an opportunity to be one of the world’s premier development locations for innovative future vehicle technology, supporting our industrial strategy, and making vehicles that are safer, cleaner and more enjoyable. To achieve this, Government and industry will work together to create the world’s most effective connected and autonomous vehicle testing ecosystem, integrating existing proving grounds and public road test sites across the UK’s existing automotive and technology heartlands, strengthening existing capabilities and creating new ones.
As announced in the 2016 Autumn Statement, the Centre for Connected & Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) will invest up to £100m in new UK CAV testing infrastructure. 
This funding has been agreed following a call for evidence run by CCAV which considers how the UK’s test environment for connected and autonomous vehicle (CAVs) can be improved:  <A HREF="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/driverless-vehicle-testing-facilities-call-for-evidence%20" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/driverless-vehicle-testing-facilities-call-for-evidence  </A>
The first competition was held in 2017 and resulted in the first four infrastructure projects - <A HREF="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/winners-of-51-million-government-competition-to-develop-world-leading-self-driving-car-testing-infrastructure-unveiled" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/winners-of-51-million-government-competition-to-develop-world-leading-self-driving-car-testing-infrastructure-unveiled </A>
To support the complementarity, integration and co-ordination of the facilities, a new organisation, <A HREF="http://meridianmobility.tech/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Meridian Mobility</A>, has been established. Meridian Mobility was created by government and industry to facilitate and support the acceleration of the UK’s emerging connected and autonomous vehicle sector within the global transport ecosystem. It will invest in projects that foster a culture of open innovation, bringing together the best of business and government to deliver cutting edge Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) infrastructure. Meridian will focus on key areas of UK capability in the global CAV sector including advanced development and validation, connected environments, data, cyber security and new service development.
