What does an electric, autonomous, and smarter future in transportation really look like? The images of a cityscape where silent electric vehicles buzz around and power grids think for themselves might currently feel like a sci-fi fantasy, but the vision does help inform policy and technological innovations happening now. Join Tech Brew – alongside experts from academia and research, energy and transportation providers, and the public sector – to explore the future of transportation. Here’s what you can expect to cover:

  • EVs and battery innovations: The EV revolution is in full swing. Dive into the latest advancements that are supercharging the industry like batteries with expanded ranges, increased charging speeds, and renewed sustainability efforts. But with great power comes great responsibility – unpack the infrastructure challenges and innovative solutions paving the way for widespread EV adoption.
  • AVs and AI: Forget backseat drivers – the car of the future might just be its own chauffeur. During this event, Tech Brew explores the latest advancements in autonomous vehicle technology as well as the role AI can play in traffic management, urban congestion, and optimizing public transit with algorithmic precision. Hear from experts grappling with the ripple effects on transportation planning and the safety and regulatory considerations going on behind-the-scenes.
  • Smart grid technology and energy transportation: Grid management has been a concern for policy makers and urban planners for some time now as cities expand and AI places new strains on energy supply. This discussion uncovers how cities are weaving renewable energy into the fabric of their power systems, the game-changing potential of vehicle-to-grid technology, and where AI and machine learning algorithms are impacting grid management.
  • Cybersecurity and privacy: When the digital dust settles, how do we ensure our critical infrastructure stands resilient against both virtual and physical storms? Peer into the world of cybersecurity experts racing to fortify our smart transportation systems against unseen threats.
