The information displayed in the AIM should not be reported as representing the official views of the OECD or of its member countries.

Bolt, supported by Nvidia and Lucid, will begin deploying autonomous vehicles in Madrid in 2027, collecting real-world driving data to develop and validate AI-driven mobility. The program aims for 25,000 vehicles initially, expanding to 100,000 across Europe by 2035, pending regulatory approval.[AI generated]

Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?

The event involves the use of an AI system (autonomous driving software) in public roads, which could plausibly lead to harm such as injury, disruption, or property damage if malfunctions or failures occur. Since the deployment is planned for the future and no harm or malfunction has been reported, it fits the definition of an AI Hazard rather than an AI Incident. The article focuses on the upcoming deployment and regulatory context, not on any realized harm or societal response to harm.[AI generated]
