Intelligent Mobility @UCL: The Podcast

We’re exploring the transition from manual to self-driving vehicles. This podcast series explores the multi-disciplinary research that will impact us all.
  

Welcome

Once a month, join Cassidy Martin on a journey of self-driving discovery. Each episode will feature members of the multidisciplinary research team at Intelligent Mobility at UCL - IM@UCL - that will revolutionise the future of driving.
