Transformation of the mobility landscape
Mobility is undergoing one of the most transformational social, technological and economic shifts of a generation, shaped by three key disruptive forces: electric vehicles and alternative powertrains, connected and autonomous vehicles and on‑demand mobility services. Sectors are being disrupted, with new markets emerging, while others are converging, and some are disappearing entirely. This transformation creates many challenges in the legal landscape. Lawyers, founders, entrepreneurs and persons working within the mobility landscape need to keep up with changing business and operating models. Several regulatory and ethical challenges will require the legislator’s attention if Sweden is to be at the forefront of the development of this technology area.
This webinar will address legal challenges and opportunities in the mobility landscape as follows:
Autonomous vehicles – regulatory landscape under pressure
Next generation of autonomous vehicles is entering the stage and challenges the current legal framework; what is a driver and do we really need one? The complexity increases rapidly as the number of new and improved autonomous driving systems entering trials or put into actual use now grow, ranging from trucks and buses to delivery robots. The legislator’s main focus is and should always be the public’s safety. However, the use of autonomous vehicles in both confined and non-confined areas clearly shows that there is a conflict in the regulatory framework that causes a threshold for introduction of new technology. We will talk about these challenges and what needs to be done to overcome them.
Use of imagery captured by cameras for the development of systems for autonomous driving
Street-level imagery is a critical component towards development of systems for autonomous driving. However, such imagery typically include personal data in the form of faces and license plates. The processing of such data impose legal challenges and Wistrand will share its view on how to tackle them.
Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) – transition from SaaS to MaaS
More and more companies transition from traditional product centric business models (purchase your own car) to more customer-centric solution oriented business models (MaaS). This is attractive from a customer perspective, but often challenges a company’s existing operating models and the legal environment in which it operates. Where there is a challenge there is also an opportunity. Wistrand will give examples of legal challenges in MaaS offerings and share ideas on how future solutions for such challenges could look like.
This is a digital event. Information and Zoom-link will be sent out one week before the event.
