Day 4 of the ITS World Congress in Dubai: Communication for Automated Driving After yesterday's successful presentation on the IDEA project, today has been all about communication technologies for automated driving at the ITS World Congress. I attended two engaging sessions where various approaches and projects were presented and discussed. It’s clear that the development of autonomous driving, particularly its relationship with telecommunications, varies significantly across different parts of the world. While some regions are moving ahead quickly, others are still building foundational structures. One of the key takeaways for Europe is the need for stronger regulatory frameworks to support innovation and maintain competitiveness in this field. Today, the congress was also open to the public, and I was positively surprised by the strong interest shown by young men and women in the future of mobility. Their enthusiasm and curiosity are encouraging signs for the next generation of transportation professionals. #ITSWorldCongress #Dubai2024 #AutomatedDriving #AutonomousVehicles #Telecommunication #MobilityInnovation #FutureOfTransport #SmartMobility
