Abstract
The last few years have seen a global push in automated and electric vehicle technologies, with most major manufacturers now developing advanced software and sensors as standard, whilst increasingly embracing low-carbon technologies.
This year's Future Transport EngTalk will be delivered by Nick Rogers, Executive Director of Project Engineering for Jaguar Landrover - a passionate advocate for engineering who has spent most of his career pioneering new and disruptive technologies within the automotive industry.
Nick will look at the ways in which the UK can become world leader in automotive development, design and manufacturing and the ways we can push the boundaries of innovation to create a safe, reliable and enjoyable experience that changes the way we travel.
He will explore the current and future automotive landscape, the numerous challenges and opportunities ahead, and the technologies that underpin autonomous vehicles, such as energy storage, connectivity, and artificial intelligence.

The automotive industry is changing at an unprecedented rate.
Every engineer will see more change in the next five years than we have in the last 50 years.
Now, more than ever, we need to embrace our technical curiosity to find innovative, efficient solutions to problems we never imagined we would have to solve.
The UK has a legacy of innovation – with investment and skills we can move beyond innovation and become the world-leader in the application of new Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared (ACES) technologies:
How can we use autonomous technologies to remove fatigue and make travel more enjoyable?
With the use of higher levels of software than ever before, how can we enable a car to become a seamless, connected, intelligent ‘device’?
How can the UK become a world-leader in the development, design and manufacture of efficient, high-performing batteries? Is there still a place for internal combustion engines?
What more can we innovate in a shared economy for a car to truly make people’s lives better, not just take them from A-B?
Engineers and scientists have a once in a lifetime opportunity take on this challenge and pioneer the disruption in the new industrial revolution.
