Peggy chats with Heikki Laine, VP of product & strategy, Cognata, who says the company was founded two years ago, offering technology for autonomous vehicle testing. Autonomous vehicles have huge potential to increase safety on the road and improve mobility, but in order to keep that momentum and maintain public support, there is a lot that needs to go on beyond just technology, he explains. We need a structured approach that delivers technology and public confidence in parallel and we do see driverless cars on the road today in some limited situations, he says. The regulations need to be around how the vehicle delivers driving functions—that is one shift that is necessary. Another perspective is the jurisdiction issue. Right now, regulation is at a state level for testing, and that varies, he adds.
