The event, which takes place in London on 28-29 June, will look at how in the future, cars will be cognitive – not only will they recognise voices and be able to optimise the journey, they will also incorporate other cognitive technologies of AI – computer vision, machine learning, rules based systems as well as planning and scheduling.

In particular, Frost & Sullivan says the taxi market has the potential to double once the commercialisation of autonomous driving kicks in, enabling mobility to become a commodity or a service that could compete with public transport.

Similarly, it says that commercial transport will be affected by AI. By 2035, approximately 300,000 heavy-duty truck drivers globally could lose their jobs based on freight efficiency enhancement tools, automated driving and other utilization technologies. The societal impacts of AI, and autonomous driving as one element of it, will be far-reaching. Alongside the impact on the society, AI and autonomous driving will change the future of our cities.

Isabel Dedring, deputy mayor, transport at Greater London Authority will be a keynote speaker at the event of 28th June, hosted at The House of Lords. Dedring will explore how policies have to change in order for cities to be able to adapt to these changes in an ideal way.

On the 29th of June, visions of the future of mobility will be explored. A highlight will be the contribution of Julia Steyn, vice president, urban mobility programs at General Motors, who will speak on GM’s concept of new urban mobility business models to target new customers. Sarwant Singh will introduce the subjects AI and digitisation with his keynote speech.
