In the final episode of our special partnered podcast series with New Statesman, our founder and CEO Richard Barlow joins host Alona Ferber and special guests to discuss the autonomous vehicle future that’s nearly here.
Remember when the concept of a self-driving vehicle was a far-off invention? Maybe you pictured reclining back to watch your favorite TV box set while the car did the rest? Well, that invention is nearly here. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are already on our roads, but did you ever consider their potential beyond convenience – a future with drastically improved road safety?
One thing’s for sure, AVs will completely transform our relationship with travel, changing our lives on a social and economic level. But before the automotive world can really put its self-driving foot down, legislation and policy must be met to ensure the technology is fit for real road scenarios on a widespread scale.
The third and final podcast episode with New Statesman focuses on the future of AVs. We explore the wider potential of self-driving vehicles, plus the regulations that inform their development and introduction to our roads.
Wejo is also helping to guide this process with our Autonomous Vehicle Operating System (AV-OS). In its latest evolution, we’ve developed an AV prototype – DLIVEREE – that integrates real-time connected vehicle data to support future AV development, testing, and operation.
Click play below to hear Richard and a panel of automotive and AV industry experts discuss just how far autonomy on our roads can take us – and what we need to do to get there.
