Webinar: How to integrate autonomous vehicles with public transport
Jun 21 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm

Via Webinar

Driverless transport isn’t simply a faraway dream. In fact, it’s already happening in innovative cities like Arlington, Texas, US and Kelheim, Germany.

Cities and transport authorities across the globe are using intelligent booking, routing and tracking software to seamlessly integrate autonomous vehicles (AVs) with existing transportation infrastructure across a wide variety of transport needs without sacrificing safety, equity or efficiency.

When deployed as part of public transport, AVs are more sustainable and accessible; and when designed and deployed efficiently, AVs can provide a useful service for riders, while enabling operators and automakers to maximise their autonomous investment.

Hear from our panel as they discuss these innovative partnerships in detail.

Speakers:

  • Ann Foss, Principal Planner at the City of Arlington
  • Jan Eller, Operations Principal at Via
  • Meghan Grela, Autonomous Lead at Via

Join us to learn how to convene the right partners, secure funding, and start deploying AVs to meet real transport needs in your community.
