12:00 | INTERNATIONAL CASE STUDY: Navya International Trials: Development and worldwide deployment of self-driving shuttles on public roads and private sites

  • Hear about the international trials by NAVYA and how countries around the globe are trialling last mile solutions.
  • By 2050, 70 % of the world’s population will be living in towns and cities and traffic flow will reach a saturation point. Public transport is a solution to these problems but falls short when it comes to the “last miles”, zones with individual needs that are more difficult to manage.

Henri Coron, Vice President Sales, Navya


12:20 | PANEL DISCUSSION: Public vs Private – who will encourage the transformation of mobility?

  • What will MaaS look like? How is it shifting and what to expect?
  • Is it possible to integrate light transport modes with CAV’s? What are the steps required and by who?
