About this event
Autonomous vehicles are catching the limelight, but did you know that our region is pioneering in terms of autonomous vessels and drones as well? In this seminar and debate, we'll give the floor to three experts who will illustrate a concrete use case, and dig deeper into the technology that enables autonomous transport.
What we'll talk about?
- Which technologies enable autonomous transport?
- What are the current possibilities, and what are the limits?
- What is the state of play of pilots, use cases and eventual commercial use?
- What can the shipping, autonomobile and drone industry learn from each other?
