Wirtschaftsforum: How does the future of Mobility look like for you?
Sachin Tikekar:

In the field of autonomous driving, fully self-driving cars technology will be possible in the next five to ten years, but infrastructure and consumer willingness to accept will determine adoption. Industry and public authorities working in tandem can accelerate the revolution. The impact will be significant – on better air quality, the way we live and and how we live, in reduction of accident rates and deaths on the road, goods and services being delivered in a more efficient manner. Hopefully a better world for all of us!
