12-Feb-2026
In this forward-looking session at EDGE 2026 in Sydney, Dr. James Peng explores how autonomous systems are reshaping transportation and redefining the intersection between AI and human behavior.
The discussion moves beyond science fiction to focus on safety, trust, regulatory evolution, and system design. Peng outlines how autonomous mobility relies on continuous data learning, sensor integration, and human-centered engineering. The session emphasizes that the real transformation lies not only in vehicles, but in infrastructure, logistics, and urban design.
Autonomy is not about replacing people. It is about augmenting human capability while reducing systemic risk.
Key Takeaways:
• Autonomous mobility is an AI systems challenge, not just a vehicle innovation.
• Trust is built through measurable safety and responsible deployment.
• Mobility transformation will reshape infrastructure, logistics, and cities.
