PAVEcast: PAVE Europe panel: “What Could AVs Mean for Future Jobs in Europe?”
The advancement of autonomous vehicles (AVs) has sparked numerous discussions about their potential impact on society. One key area of concern revolves around the job market and how this transformative technology might shape employment opportunities. To address these pressing questions, we present an engaging virtual panel, specifically focused on Europe, where experts from various sectors within the AV ecosystem will share their experiences and shed light on future trends.
Students wonder what classes they need to take to be prepared for AV-related jobs, while current workers may worry that their job could be altered or eliminated by automation.
The panel also acknowledges the concerns of current workers who may feel apprehensive about the potential automation of their jobs. Through open and honest conversations with individuals who have experienced the impact of automation first-hand, we aim to address these anxieties and explore possible strategies for job adaptation, retraining, or transition within the AV ecosystem.
Panelists:
- Frances Williamson – Head of Stakeholder Engagement, Zenzic
- Nikolas Thomopoulos, Associate Professor in Transport, University of Surrey & WISE-ACT Chair
- David Storer – Director Research, Innovation, New Mobility, CLEPA
