Autonomous vehicles - what will it take to go mainstream?

Published on May 10, 2017


Two illustrious MIT alums - a politician who led the regulation of autonomous vehicles in the State Senate and a businessman who leads Waymo's effort - share their vision!

Alex Padilla - CA Secretary of State
John Krafcik - CEO Waymo

Autonomous vehicle technologies will dramatically change how we interact with vehicles; McKinsey estimates that 50 percent of new cars in 2030 could be highly autonomous. Laws and guidelines are being established at the state and federal level, but significant uncertainty still exists.

Policy: What major policies or regulations have advanced the autonomous vehicle industry and what are the real & perceived issues that policy must now address?

Markets: What are the early market opportunities and challenges, given policy and technology limitations? Where are the greatest opportunities for entrepreneurs?

Business Models: What kinds of new business models will accelerate the adoption of AVs? How will the role of the traditional OEM evolve?

The speakers will each give keynote introductions sharing how they got involved in the autonomous industry, how it has developed during this time and their vision for the future.

UK Parliament debate on self-driving and electric vehicles

Published on Nov 4, 2017


Recorded November 2nd, 2017

The application of ‘intelligence’ to cars is gathering pace and there is a strong push by manufacturers to develop automated vehicles which will drive themselves. Currently, insurance law is driver-centric: all (human) drivers have to have insurance in order to provide compensation for third parties for personal injury or property damage due to a driving related incident. The Government’s view is that such principles need to be extended to cover automated vehicles when the car is the driver and the ‘driver’ is sometimes a passenger.

The intention behind the legislation is to emphasise that if there is an insurance ’event’ (accident) the compensation route for the individual remains within the motor insurance settlement framework, rather than through a product liability framework against a manufacturer.

Electric vehicles

Since 2009 UK governments of all parties have sought to provide a framework in which electric vehicles, or ‘ultra low emission vehicles’ (ULEVs) can grow. The decarbonisation of both private cars and goods and passenger carrying vehicles is seen as critical to helping the UK achieve its climate change obligations and to improving air quality, particularly in cities such as London.
