A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE ON AUTONOMOUS AND CONNECTED VEHICLES
Imagine a future where self-driving cars exist and can seamlessly communicate between themselves thanks to internet connectivity. This is becoming a reality internationally.
With a global perspective, during our upcoming Symposium on Urban Mobility Challenges, we will explore how autonomous cars and internet-connected vehicles will impact the evolution of roads and transportation choices and address crucial safety concerns, providing a complete understanding of how this digital revolution is reshaping urban mobility. Additionally, by optimizing traffic flow, minimizing congestion, and facilitating more efficient transportation options, these technologies hold promise in reducing carbon emissions and creating environmentally conscious urban environments.
To achieve a successful implementation, the public and private sectors are collaborating together to drive innovation, ensuring that autonomous and connected vehicles become a reality while promoting a sustainable and digitally advanced mobility future.
In our ninth edition of the CARNET Symposium on Urban Mobility Challenges, experts, researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers from these regions will come together to explore the progress, challenges, and potential societal impacts of this transformative technology.
