The Automated Vehicles Act 2024 is now law.
And with rapidly advancing technology, and international and national technical regulations underway, the first automated vehicles are set to be on UK roads in the next two years.
Self-driving technologies can have a huge influence on the way we move people and goods, but what trajectory will the revolution take and what should we be prepared for?
This webinar will:
- try to anticipate plausible scenarios;
- bust unrealistic myths;
- help you understand its full potential; and
- help your business prepare for the transformation.
The webinar will cover:
- the 2024 Automated Vehicles Act, what’s been achieved and next priorities;
- the first use cases to be deployed and scaled, and what people can expect in five to ten years’ time;
- the differing roles of autonomy in different environments, e.g. urban networks, rural areas;
- the landscape of consumer confidence and how to build prospective users’ trust;
