The future of mobility is Electric, Connected, Autonomous and Shared. To achieve the self-driving vision an estimated $100bn has been invested globally with the target deployments around 2020. It was pitched as the biggest change in mobility since we stopped using horses.

Yet in the midst of the COVID-19 global pandemic where is the autonomous driving future we were promised? This episode will be an open conversation covering the barriers that remain and how that future may be reshaped.

Key Topics:

  • Is regulation blocking deployment?
  • Is the technology ready?
  • Can public safety be assured?
  • Post COVID-19 will the future of mobility remain the same?
  • What impact will economic downturn have in achieving that vision?
