Cars are getting smarter, more connected and closer to a future where they can drive themselves. Against that backdrop, an array of technologists, investors, car executives, transit experts and others convened at San Francisco’s Dogpatch Studios on Thursday for a conference delving into changes in how people get around.
“Technology is transforming transportation in the same way it’s transformed media, music, you name it,” said Doug Newcomb, president and co-founder of the C3 Group which sponsored the C3 Connected Mobility Summit. “Society is ready for it and the industry is ripe for disruption.”
