that drive the future of mobility

Connected & automated driving (CAD)

Connected & automated driving (CAD)

Self-driving cars are no longer a thing of the future, they’re here! As this technology progresses, it brings us one step closer to a driverless future. With more computing power, sensors and data than ever before…they are continuously learning and becoming smarter and faster. The question remains: how can we build the infrastructure that these vehicles need to function properly and up to their potential?

This thematic track focuses on the insanely fast technology and infrastructure that needs to be put into place so that high-speed, real-time interaction between machines can happen seamlessly and safely. We examine the potential benefits to society that CAD can bring. Less accidents, less traffic and less pollution. Can all of those things really become a reality? Transportation that’s safer, more affordable and convenient than ever. Is connected and automated driving our ticket to that kind of world? These things sound great, but they can’t be achieved without cooperation – between the tech, telecom and automotive industries, between the public and private sector. Interaction between all of the affected stakeholders is essential – so that the transition to this technology is every bit as seamless as the smart mobility it can potentially provide.

Environment & energy storage and efficiency

Environmentally-friendly sources of energy and energy storage

If we’re going to effectively fight climate change, we definitely need better technology. We’ll always need to produce energy, feed ourselves, move around and heat our homes, but the way we do all of these things needs to change. Reducing greenhouse-gas emissions, moving away from oil, gas and coal, is essential. How do we manage the transition and who’s going to pay for it?

Let’s start with an encouraging number – 1% of annual global income. That’s how much it would take, given the current state of technology, to control the effects of climate change. There are already lots of reasons to get excited! For starters, new generations of electric vehicles, can have a major impact. Think about it! They are a zero-emissions alternative that can potentially use nuclear power and/or a wide range of sustainable energy sources like the sun or wind. That means they can potentially feed the power grid that’s charging their batteries. Those same energy sources can also be used to split water and produce hydrogen. Battery capacity is another major issue, but not in the way you may think. A bigger battery lets you go further before having to recharge, but that’s not all. Electric vehicles can do more than take power from a smart power grid, they can also give it back! When parked, an electric vehicle (or fleet) can potentially swap roles with the grid – becoming a supplier of energy. This means that, in the future, we could potentially move away from the notion of users and suppliers towards a self-sustaining ecosystem. That’s just one of the technologies that’s already in the pipeline….a building block in a major shift that’s waiting to happen!

In a city of the future there will be automated, energy-efficient, intelligent superfast transportation networks capable of generating energy and charging vehicles as they travel. How far away is that future? Well, it’s going to take some time to develop the appropriate infrastructure. There are other critical questions too – like who’s going to pay for this revolution?! The road to managing the transition from traditional gas is long, winding and tricky. There a lot of important issues to discuss and questions to answer. What is clear is that zero-emissions public and private transportation powered by alternative fuels is one of the keys to a more efficient and environmentally-friendly society! How do we make that trip as quickly and as seamlessly as possible? This thematic track is here to help you figure that out!
