To support the development of connected and automated mobility (CAM), the industry called for a universally agreed glossary of common terms and definitions. BSI Flex 1890 v6.0 is the sixth iteration of this standard and includes the most up to date and consistent terms, reflecting the Automated Vehicles Act 2024 and industry feedback.

This version defines 131 terms and 59 abbreviations related to the connectivity and automation of road-going, land-based vehicles and their users. It establishes a common language to encourage clarity, interoperability, and promote trust in CAM.

This document is for use by organizations involved in the CAM ecosystem, including insurers, regulators, legislators, CAM manufacturers, operators, and consumers.

You can find an interactive version of the vocabulary, along with our updated Standards Roadmap 2025—a guide to the most relevant national and international CAM standards—on our CAM Standards Hub.

We're leading a standards programme, supported by the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV), to support and accelerate the safe and secure development, trialling, testing and deployment of automated mobility. Find out more about the programme and gain access to a wealth of free insights, videos, standards, and tools here.
