🚨 The latest The #CitiesFirst Advisors + Podcast Webinar episode is now live!
Last week, I had the pleasure of hosting Episode 29 of the CitiesFirst Podcast: "AVs and the Future of Mobility", in partnership with EIT Urban Mobility - Urban Mobility Explained (UMX). We brought together three exceptional leaders—Henriette Cornet (Urban Innovate), Sascha Meyer (MOIA), and Javier Guimerá Tena (Padam Mobility)—for a rich discussion on the future role of autonomous vehicles in our cities.
As someone who’s worked in this space for years, I found this conversation incredibly insightful. We explored the tangible lessons from real-world AV deployments—like how MOIA’s pilot in London used dynamic routing to boost vehicle utilization by 20%. But just as importantly, we unpacked the policy, equity, and operational challenges cities face when integrating AVs into public transport systems. Henriette made a powerful point: if we want AVs to serve everyone, diverse communities must be involved from the start. This kind of thinking is what will separate scalable solutions from isolated experiments.
🎙️ Featuring:
Henriette Cornet, CEO at Urban Innovate
Sascha Meyer, CEO at MOIA
