Achieving a fully autonomous car in any condition is a goal engineers and car manufacturers have been working towards for years. We may not be there yet, but the transport industry is constantly evolving, with autonomous vehicles becoming more and more concrete realities for everyday purposes.

Prof. Sergio Savaresi, Full Professor in Automatic Control at Politecnico di Milano, presents the potential offered by electric vehicles, exploring the wider changes to energy systems and smart mobility. With a twenty-year experience in the automotive sector, the Professor analyses the huge impact of autonomous vehicles on mobility, discussing the challenges yet to overcome to reach a complete decarbonization of our transport system and benefit from the evolving technologies.

Prof. Sergio Savaresi said in the interview:

“The personal mobility in the future will be based on small and light, electric shared and autonomous cars.”
 “The availability of the autonomous car will be the real big bang of the new mobility era. “
 “The autonomous car will boost and catalyse the car sharing model and the car sharing model will boost and catalyse the diffusion of the electric car.”
