The Autonomous Cities Summit 2027 is a one-day London meeting focused on how autonomous vehicles can be deployed in urban transport systems. It is the seventh edition of the European AV Summit, renamed for 2027, and is scheduled for 18 March at the Royal Institution. The event is organised by Autonomy Summits. 1
Its intended audience includes city authorities, public transport authorities, mobility managers, autonomous-vehicle operators and other people involved in deploying the technology. The organisers describe the gathering as a forum for the AV community; a separate event listing also identifies city authorities and mobility managers from across Europe as participants. 18 The event page says the 2026 edition drew 200 delegates from more than 27 countries, while the 2027 attendance cap is 250. 1
The programme is framed around the relationship between autonomy and city needs, rather than vehicle technology alone. Listed topics include regulation, safety, deployment, the economics and investment behind the sector, London’s supervised trials and permitting, and whether Europe can build its own autonomous-vehicle ecosystem. Sessions include a keynote, panels and a fireside conversation, alongside networking breaks, lunch and evening drinks. The organisers also describe closed-door roundtables as part of the day’s format. 1
The summit sits within a three-city 2027 series: London focuses on passenger mobility and cities, Munich on autonomous logistics, and Prague on vehicle development. 811 The available search results do not show independent media coverage of the event; the descriptions and programme details cited here come from the event organiser and an industry association listing. 18
