Autonomous vehicles have arrived on London’s streets. What will they mean for the city, its transport network, and the people who rely on it? AVs have the potential to make journeys safer, accelerate the shift to electric vehicles and improve connectivity. But their introduction raises important questions about how we manage the transition, the implications for congestion and London’s transport network, and the future of professional drivers.
Join BusinessLDN, in partnership with Uber, for a member briefing on the opportunities and challenges ahead.
Why attend?
As AVs begin carrying passengers on London’s streets, how can the city harness their potential while managing the challenges of this major shift in urban transport?
This panel discussion will welcome industry experts including Christina Calderato, Director of Strategy & Policy, Transport for London and representatives from Uber and Wayve, to explore the latest developments, consider what AVs could mean for London’s transport network and economy, and debate how the city can manage the transition responsibly.
From road safety and congestion to public trust, regulation and the future of professional drivers, this discussion will examine the opportunities, challenges and choices facing London as AVs become a reality.
