Context
Why Madrid, why now
Autonomous mobility stops being a pilot and becomes a market in 2026. Madrid is where Europe's deployment, regulation and capital meet.
Europe's largest regulatory sandbox
The Villaverde Mobility Sandbox offers 20 km² of real urban environment for testing autonomous and connected mobility.
Spain's first Level 4 autonomous bus
EMT put Spain's first SAE Level 4 autonomous bus into service in September 2025, rated 8.4/10 by users.
A decisive regulatory year
2026 brings the UNECE global regulation on ADS, the EU Automotive Industrial Action Plan and the DGT's ES-AV framework programme.

Beyond the Stage: Autonomous Bus Experience at Mercamadrid
Two days of debate on autonomous mobility deserve a real-world experience.
Thanks to our Silver Partner, ALSA, registered attendees of MAMS2026 are invited to join a visit to Mercamadrid to see Spain's first autonomous, on-demand bus in operation.
Since July 2026, this 100% electric bus has been carrying passengers on a regular basis within Mercamadrid, operating at Level 4+ automation with an operator on board. It has room for 30 passengers and uses 5G connectivity to interact continuously with the surrounding infrastructure.
The project is led by Madrid City Council, through its Digital Office, and Mercamadrid, with the collaboration of Alsa.
