The Future Of Cars With Game Changers, Presented By Sap

The buzz: “Starsky Robotics emerged from a year and a half in stealth to unveil its end-to-end driverless trucking technology. A few days earlier, Embark did the same” (trucks.com). Remember remote-control toy cars from your youth? Brace yourself. Real-life remote-control vehicles – aka teleoperations – may be a grown-up reality for long-haul trucks and taxis by 2020. What is the future of these two industries that employ millions? How will these vehicles co-exist with human-operated cars on streets and highways? Who is driving this trend? The experts speak. Heather Ashton, IDC: “He (or SHE!) who controls the remote, controls the world” (Julie Garwood). Bill Powell, ARI: “Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane, and the pessimist the parachute” (George B. Shaw). Bill Newman, SAP: “Remember the Golden Rule – Whoever has the gold, makes the rules” (Wizard of Id, 1965).
