Carlo JT van de Weijer (Eindhoven): 'The Future of Mobility: How and why we will transport ourselves in the next decades'
Digitisation has entered the mobility arena. The car has evolved from a mechanical device into a “data producing embedded software platform”, and the internet is quickly linking the supply and demand to effectively fulfil our transport needs. And just like every industry that is confronted with digitisation, the changes come faster than most traditional players can prepare for. Yet, with all unpredictability that comes along with disruption there are some fixed rules that one can prepare for. This makes mobility a real example of an industry in the mids of disruption. Carlo van de Weijer will highlight the most important future trends within mobility, from uberization to self driving vehicles, electrification and the impact on cities and society.
Carol JT van de Weijer is Director of Strategic Area Smart Mobility at Eindhoven University of Technology.
