Saturday, March 12

Austin Convention Center
Room 6AB
531 E 4th St

Self-driving cars, and the artificial intelligence that powers them could all have the same seismic impact on society that networking PCs did on computing and communication. Hear from automotive, design, energy and technology experts as they discuss the pros, hazards, ethics and inevitabilities related to autonomous fleets, talk solutions that will enable people and machine-driven cars to co-exist and preview mind-blowing new technologies we'll use to maneuver and live in urban settings in faster, safer, cheaper and greener ways.
