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.

Rethinking mobility - new means and business models

Rethinking mobility: evolving business models and new methods of transportation

This Impact mobility rEVolution’18 thematic track is split into two separate sections:

1. The evolution of business models in the transportation industry – with a special focus on Mobility as a Service (MaaS)

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) puts users at the core of transportation services, offering them tailor-made mobility solutions based on their individual needs – thanks to the integration of various transportation-related amenities into a single service. Digitally-enabled car-sharing and ride-hailing will allow users to get around seamlessly and effortlessly – selecting the optimal method of transportation (i.e. taxi, public transportation or a bike share) and route for their office commute or weekend getaway. It’s environmentally-friendly and can be paid
for at the touch of a single button. This is the smartest possible way to travel and more! MaaS isn’t only about getting you where you want to go, it’s also about saving you a trip! Shopping for food, ordering take-out and other day-to-day activities will become simpler than ever before. The best part? It’s already here! Whim, the world’s first ever MaaS solution, was launched in Helsinki toward the end of 2016. Since that time interest in MaaS has been steadily increasing – with new projects appearing in more and more places worldwide.

Key point: Imagine if getting around your city was as simple as using Netflix! Just click and go! That sounds like an awesome way to travel. Could MaaS make it a reality?

2. Air taxis, flying cars, manned drones and other new methods of transportation

There’s no doubt that autonomous vehicles are going to disrupt the transportation industry in ways that we can’t even begin to imagine, but that’s just one of the innovations about to go live! The fancy name for this next one is Personal Airborne Transport (PAT), but they are
more commonly called flying cars. Leading the way in this ‘race’ is Dubai – the country’s Transportation Authority has actually already conducted tests of drone-based flying taxis. These cabs, which are made by the Chinese company Ehang, are expected to ‘hit the sky’ in
2018. Also interested in entering this market are Airbus, which has already begun working on a protype, and Uber – the latter has said that it would like to offer its customers the ability to hale a flying car within the next 10 years.

Key Points

  • So, how close are we, really, to seeing flying cars in our skies on a day-to-day basis?!
  • How will they compliment and/or replace other methods of transportation?
  • How does the hyperloop fit into this evolving ecosystem?This is where you’ll find answers to those questions and so much more!

You should be particularly interested in this track if you:

  • Work in the automotive (or related) industry,
  • Have or are working on game-changing innovations in mobility,
  • Provide tech/IT solutions that can potentially be used to impact mobility,
  • Are a startup, VC, technology provider, university spin-off or young researcher.
