What’s happening?

<p><span style="font-weight: 400; margin: 20px;">Self-driving vehicles have been around for more than a decade, but what will it take to move beyond the endless test driving? What is the truth behind the hype of autonomous cars, where is the real progress being made and will we ever get to level-four (true autonomy)? Beyond the technology, what are the economic, social, and legal factors  that will dictate how driverless cars take to our roads. </span></p>


State of the autonomous future

<div class="iconText-block col-md-3">
<div>The auto industry is undergoing a rapid evolution towards a cleaner environmental future. But questions remain. How will battery technology improve? How will the charging infrastructure improve to keep up with demand? Beyond electrification, what other technologies can have an impact? Can hydrogen fuel cell technology finally break through?</div>
</div>


Sustainability at the forefront

<div class="iconText-block col-md-3">
<div>Car manufacturers are being forced to react to declining car ownership, supply chain problems, rising costs, and the emergence of shared and micro-mobility solutions. Autotech startups are designing car models with autonomy and sharing in mind. Are we ready for a total change in personal transport? And how will this affect the design of our cities and public transportation?</div>

As AI and sensor technology rapidly improves so does the increase in efficiency and accuracy. Making our robotic co-workers more and more capable of handling even more complex tasks and decision making.</div>
