The panel, which will take place on the second day of the conference, Thursday June 4, will unite thought-leaders from academia, design houses, IT providers and automakers to provide their visions on how mobility will change in the future.
Each speaker will be given two minutes and one slide to present their view on how people will move about, how cities will get smarter, and how the automotive industry will adapt to changes, followed by a longer group discussion. Speakers will be aiming to challenge and inspire the audience.
