In California 50 companies have a license to test autonomous vehicles on public roads. Over 1,000 experimental vehicles are already operating in the U.S. And a dozen robotaxi fleets have been testing in multiple cities taking on passengers. While it seems autonomous cars are already here, others say it will still take at least a decade.
Who is right?
In this talk Mario Herger - author of the bookThe Last Driver license Holder Is Already Bornwill deliver an overview of the state of self-driving technology, the leading companies, the problems still to solve & the impact of autono/mous vehicles on jobs, our societies, & cities.

About the Speaker:
Mario Herger (in his own words)
I like all odd, innovative, artful, inspirational things. I trade in Silicon Valley mindset, innovation, foresight mindset, creativity, intrapreneurship & gamification. Born & raised in Vienna/Austria, I live now in Silicon Valley.
I have a PhD in Chemical Engineering & an undergraduate degree in international business. I worked for SAP in Germany & California for many years in development & innovation management. I have been living in Silicon Valley since 2001 & worked with many startups. I founded two companies, organize conferences & meetups on innovative topics & do Silicon Valley inspiration tours. And I do speak at many conferences & events.
I consult many Fortune 500 companies around the globe & conduct workshops on Foresight Mindset (http://foresightmindset.com/), Innovation, Silicon Valley-Mindset, Creativity, Intrapreneurship, & Gamification. I also look at signals of emerging technology trends & how they impact society, politics, or employment.
I am a mentor at the German Accelerator (http://germanaccelerator.com/), work with startups from other accelerators including Upwest Labs & Bootstrap Labs. I serve as an adviser for multiple startups.
I write books (12 so far) & regularly publish articles on technology topics. A recent book is Das Silicon Valley Mindset (http://www.amazon.de/dp/3864703549) (in German) & elaborates on 400 pages the elements that form the innovative & entrepreneurial mindset in Silicon Valley & how we can combine that with our own strengths.
My most recent book The last driver license holder (https://thelastdriverlicenseholder.com/book/) came out in German on October 12th, 2017. On over 500 pages I look at converging trends such as autonomous driving, electric vehicles, or shared driving, which are heavily driven by Silicon Valley & discuss the potential implications for the automotive industry, cities, & societies at large.
