Harold Goddijn (TomTom) | TNW Conference | The Future of Transportation & Autonomous Driving

Autonomous vehicles will be the biggest change in transportation since the invention of the car. According to Harold Goddijn, for autonomous driving: It’s not if, but when. This is not just about the automotive industry. Consumers and the environment will start to benefit before full autonomous driving has been adopted: congestion will be a thing of the past, road safety will significantly increase, and there will be improvements in air quality and energy efficiency. Smarter cities with semi-autonomous driving are starting to happen now. We need to ensure that the regulatory environment enables this – through a standardized framework across borders. Europe will play a big role in this future – through effective regulation and continued innovation.
