The chapter provides an overview of the use cases, the communication technologies, the stakeholders, the past and current R&D activities, and the future plans for CAD in Europe. The evolution towards CAD is spanning over more than two decades, a clear indication that Europe has a rich R&D history in the domain and that it will continue driving the future definition of CAD in the wider sense of 'cooperative, connected, and automated mobility.
