Wherever wheeled vehicles are in use, there are opportunities for autonomy. Robotaxis have launched and are scaling up, while trucking is poised for imminent commercial deployment. For the diverse trucking sector, the talk will address the timing and scaling of long-haul operations, as well as provide a brief summary of autonomy for short-haul, logistics centers, and industrial operations.

The webinar will end with a discussion of several key issues to “keep an eye on and on how the developments in the United States link to activities in Sweden and the potential for new or expanded collaborations between the countries.

Our keynote speaker is Richard Bishop, Principal at Bishop Consulting. He has over 30 years of experience in the domain of connected and automated vehicles.
