Going Mobile?
‘Out in the woods, Or in the city, It’s all the same to me. When I’m drivin’ free, the world’s my home, When I’m mobile’.
(Going Mobile – The Who, 1971)
Time was when mobility was equated with freedom – going where you want, when you want. Increasingly though, it’s linked instead with frustration – being grid-locked or stuck or having to endure waits, delays, security-checks and other hazards in order to expensively get from A to where you want to B.
So can Intelligent Mobility really get us back on the right track? Automated vehicles, integrated traffic systems, smart infrastructure – we have the technology and the vision, but do we have the will and the wherewithal to bring it all together and transform how we travel?
Chaired by BBC presenter Quentin Cooper, this discussion will look at some of the most exciting new technology being developed in the UK and ask pioneers to imagine how it could change transport in the future. There’ll also be an opportunity for you to put your questions to the panel.
Book early to avoid disappointment. Set off early to avoid traffic.
Meet the panel after the event at the drinks reception.
