BSI Flex 1890 v4:2022-03 - Connected and automated vehicles. Vocabulary



What is BSI Flex 1890 v4.0:2022-03 about? 
The market for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) in the UK is estimated to be worth £41.7 billion in 2035. However, a lack of shared understanding of industry terms is likely to slow down the safe uptake of CAV technologies. BSI Flex 1890 defines terms, abbreviations, and acronyms for the CAV sector, focused on those relating to vehicles and associated technologies. BSI Flex 1890 has been developed via a dynamic and iterative standardization approach, called BSI Flex. This approach permits a rapid response to industry changes and can result in the publication of several versions a year. Therefore, by its nature, the CAV vocabulary will change from time to time with subsequent iteration.
