THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY AND TRANSPORTATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY
Admittedly, most of us will not be here in 100 years. However, our children and grandchildren will. What will they find?
What will we have left behind?
How does the future of mobility unfold? We are on the cusp of self-driving and autonomous vehicles which will lead a
whole new transportation revolution. New models are challenging conventional ownership at a pace no one could have
imagined. In addition, the challenges faced by transitioning from today’s vehicles driven by fossil fuels to alternate
power sources will require time, effort, and money. The 21st century will be characterized by major changes in the
automotive environment.
This panel will bring together industry experts and futurists to ignite your imagination as we contemplate what will
drive the next 100 years.
