Europe Autonomous Vehicle Industry Dynamics
Europe Autonomous Vehicle Market Trends/ Growth Drivers:
Factors attributed to the growth of the European autonomous vehicles market include rapid urbanization, increased initiatives by the government for vehicle safety, rising espousal of ADAS systems in autonomous vehicles, the evolution of connected car technology, the need for an efficient and safe driving option, and mounting investment in digital infrastructure. The increased purchasing power among consumers, and technological development will accelerate the market development for Europe’s autonomous vehicle market. The product liability, government regulations, and cyber-security play a very crucial role in the advancement of autonomous vehicles.
The European Union (EU) is taking initiative to promote regional cooperation among all stakeholders to acknowledge the advantages of autonomous vehicles that shall boost the growth of this market. The advantages offered by autonomous vehicles include shorter transit times and lower fuel costs. Furthermore, the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic has been signed by most European countries to establish uniform traffic regulations across borders. Also, a favorable environment for AV testing is created by the constant design of the intercity routes. Additionally, autonomous vehicles contribute to fewer accidents and fewer crashes on the roads, which increases market demand for self-driving cars in the region.
Europe Autonomous Vehicle Market Challenges
The additional costs related to connectivity solution charges, telecommunications services, hardware systems, and high purchase prices, could severely hinder the market expansion of the European autonomous vehicles market. Moreover, vulnerability to hacks, cyber-attacks, and people’s apprehensions towards autonomous vehicles may stymie market expansion.
Europe Autonomous Vehicle Market Opportunities
The safe and sustainable commercialization of automated and autonomous vehicles is a major responsibility of legislators. Nevertheless, this is an opportunity as well. Previously, regulators have only regulated the vehicle, they must now construct a legal framework for the driver in the form of an automated driving system (ADS). Additionally, autonomous vehicles will offer robotic assistance for delivery purposes and act as a means for public mobility service, thereby creating significant market opportunities for the market development of Europe’s Autonomous Vehicle Market.
Recent Development by Key Players
Mobileye to develop software, hardware and maps for self-driving VW ID. Buzz AD. Volkswagen ADMT GmbH, part of Volkswagen AG, collaborated with the technology company Mobileye Global Inc. Mobileye will develop and supply software, hardware components and digital maps for the self-driving ID. Buzz AD.
Mercedes-Benz is introducing its Automatic Lane Change (ALC) function for European markets. The company is currently working on adapting the function to European traffic situations.
Europe Autonomous Vehicle Market Segmentation
VynZ Research provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the Europe Autonomous Vehicle Market report, along with forecasts at the regional and country levels from 2025-2030. Our report has categorized the market based on vehicle autonomy and vehicle type.
Insight by Vehicle Autonomy
- Semi-Autonomous Vehicle
- Fully Autonomous Vehicle
Based on Vehicle Autonomy, Europe’s Autonomous Vehicle Market is bifurcated into Semi-Autonomous Vehicle and Fully Autonomous Vehicle. Semi-autonomous is subdivided into Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Fully Autonomous Car is subdivided into Level 4 and Level 5. The fully autonomous vehicle is anticipated to have the fastest growth during the forecast period. With its first completely self-driving bus, Europe is preparing to introduce autonomous vehicles into public transportation. Driverless automobiles are now ready to transform mobility. As Europe fights against climate change, autonomous vehicles are becoming increasingly important in lowering carbon emissions and paving the path for a more sustainable future. Thus, autonomous vehicles will change the way people commute and travel long distances, remove individuals from dangerous jobs, and streamline businesses. Many countries have created legal frameworks to govern autonomous buses and cars; for example, Europe will deploy its first completely driverless bus in October 2022.
Insight by Vehicle Type
- Internal Combustion Engines (ICE)
- Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV)
- Battery Electric vehicles (BEV)
Based on Vehicle Type, Europe’s Autonomous Vehicle Market is segmented into Internal Combustion Engines (ICE), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), and Battery Electric vehicles (BEV). The fastest growth is anticipated for BEVs during the projection period. This is so that fully autonomous technology may be implemented more quickly in BEVs than in conventional fuel-type vehicles. Several cameras, sensors, radars, and other devices are employed to make an autonomous vehicle. Compared to conventional fuel-based or hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles may create smoother connectivity between their electrical parts.

Germany is anticipated to have a significant market share in Europe’s Autonomous Vehicle Market as it is one of the first countries that has legalized AVs on its roads. In recent times, the Netherlands has gone a step further and now permits the testing of AVs without the actual presence of human drivers. Moreover, the Netherlands is regarded as the nation that is best prepared for the widespread introduction of autonomous vehicles. Further, Sweden has just started an extensive test program for self-driving minibusses as part of its plans for the future of its public transportation system.
Thus, Europe is developing a safer and more effective road network by developing a national AV integration strategy with the cooperation of all these nations.
Europe Autonomous Vehicle Market Competitive Insight
The market dynamics for autonomous vehicles (AV) in Europe are best demonstrated by the market participants who are outpacing new technology developments in terms of price and their demanding product portfolio. Additionally, the government's policies are luring major companies to establish their new businesses in accordance with its directives, which would have a significant effect on the market.

Financing, leasing, automobile subscriptions and rentals, fleet management, digital charging and payment services, insurance brokerage, and cutting-edge mobility services are all provided by Mercedes-Benz Mobility AG. The function of the automobile is being redefined by autonomous driving. In addition to improving safety and comfort, it will also give consumers more free time because they won't need to drive as much. Mercedes-Benz's key priorities in conditionally autonomous driving (SAE Level 3) are safety and reliability. Therefore, DRIVE PILOT is built on a system architecture that permits safe control in all circumstances.
One of the most active manufacturers of autonomous vehicles is Renault. The EZ-GO for daily carsharing, the EZ-ULTIMO - a more elegant, luxurious carsharing option - and the EZ-PRO, an autonomous delivery vehicle designed for last mile logistics, are just a few examples of the brand's highly advanced concept cars that imagine a future in which shared autonomous vehicles have become the norm. Renault has also tested autonomous on-demand car services in Rouen and on the Paris-Saclay urban campus in real driving situations in France.
