ULI UK - Driverless Cars and the City
The emergence of autonomous vehicles will have far reaching implications for cities, planners, real estate and the wider urban environment. Going beyond the technology this half day conference will explore the implications for cities, mobility and the possible changes to urban realm.
The conference is aimed at complementing initiatives delivered by Greater London Authority and London Transport Museum across the following themes:
- Challenging the current thinking of how Driverless Cars will impact urban realm.
- Future autonomous transport systems – will they make urban mobility better or worse?
- Emerging and anticipated technology – 3D movement modelling and city implications
- How Driverless Cars could reshape the city scape
- Precedents and city opportunities from current trials
- Real Estate and insurance implications
