As investment in and regulation to support the roll-out of autonomous transport builds, many are asking questions about timescales, business models and which will be the pivotal technologies.

In addition, people want to know where will lead and who will follow.

Given this interest, we are delighted to announce that the Future of Autonomous Vehicles is the next major Future Agenda open foresight project and is running through to the summer with expert workshops around the world.

This first event kicks off on 28 March with a workshop in Los Angeles hosted by LA Metro. It is bringing together experts from across tech, public transport, policy, manufacturing and urban design and will build on an initial view to identify and map the key issues that will then be taken around the world for further expert challenge.

If you would like to be involved in this important project, please let us know.
