Paul Priestman, designer and co-founding director of international design consultancy Priestmangoode will lead the debate in the Wired Transport: Connected trains, planes and automobiles session at the Product Design and Innovation Conference in London, 15-16 May 2013.
One of the biggest transformations in transportation is the growing importance of infotainment, online connection and additional services. Priestman believes Google’s driverless car project suggests the possibility of a new form of personal transport without personal ownership, saying: “Once we can start to break the personal ownership of vehicles, I think it will allow cities to breathe again.”
“We will see big changes in the way people use cars and powered two wheelers in the years to come,” says conference panellist Hennes Fischer, head of independent consultants HF Consult. “ITS technologies and multi-modal mobility will be key issues. This new smart mobility will address environmental impacts and increase safety.”
Joining Paul Priestmann as featured speaker is Anne Asensio, vice-president of design experience at Dassault Systèmes. Other panellists include Fabien Grégoire, director, Kenwood Design Corp, and Victor Szilagyi, strategy and design at Semiot.
