Our cities have never been busier. More congestion and pollution demand us to rethink mobility. Car companies are making huge strides in developing autonomous vehicles. What does it take for autonomous driving to become reality? How can these innovations make cities like Hong Kong cleaner and safer places to live? Yutaka Sanada, Nissan’s head of Asia & Oceania, will provide a perspective on how mobility advancements not only transform the way we drive, but also the way we live.
