This fascinating discussion with Nikolaj Koster, Head of Mobility at Deem, Inc. covers a broad range of topics, including:

1. Robotaxis:
     How artificial intelligence will help save the world and why your kid
     won’t need a driver’s license.
Koster predicts that before the end of
     this decade , the majority of cars in our cities won’t have  a
     driver. Learn more about the role artificial intelligence is likely to
     play in our everyday life, what your futuristic trip across town might
     entail, and why we should all be excited about robots behind the wheel.

2. Sustainability
   
There’s no  denying that climate change, sustainability, and the swiftly changing

     to aspirations to revolutionize access to mobility options of all kinds,
     Koster doesn't hold back. Enjoy a good look at the vivid picture he paints
     of a future wherein commutes are active, flexible, sustainable, and fun -
     and public spaces less needed by vehicles are repurposed for people.
