About the Event


Implementing a new technology comes with inherent challenges and risk. Deploying automated systems is one such process filled with hurdles, barriers, and complexity that need to be overcome so the many potential benefits of automated vehicles (AVs) can be realized. We will discuss AV technology, ride sharing, the internet of things (IoT), and smartphone tech that will influence the next big mobility revolution that will enhance communities through improved accessibility and affordability. Through collaboration and integration, we can bring about a safer and more equitable world driven by the evolution of mobility.
