Automated Transportation – Changing Cities, Society and Business

What started as the Future Mobility Night in 2017, will now be extended into a full-day dialogue with panel discussions and breakout sessions.

This year’s discussion will focus on opportunities of fully automated (“autonomous”) transportation for the mobility of people, the delivery of goods and the provision of services in cities. Particular attention will be given to the challenges in terms of sustainability, governance and public acceptance that relate to robot-vehicles.
