2 Welcome FISITA Honorary Committee In 2009 we established the FISITA World Automotive Summit to enable policy-makers and influential thinkers to meet with leaders of the automotive industry and work together on issues of major importance to the future of the automobile. Previous Summits have tackled the issues of CO 2 Reduction from Road Transport, Global Traffic Safety and the Re-Invention of Mobility in an Increasingly Urban Future. The first of these led to FISITA becoming a participant in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Following the 2010 Summit on Global Traffic Safety, FISITA became a participant in the WHO s Global Road Safety Collaboration. The FISITA Honorary Committee is a group of top industry leaders who support FISITA s agenda to promote efficient, affordable, safe and sustainable automotive transportation. This year our topic is autonomous vehicles a fastdeveloping phenomenon that looks likely to revolutionise the automotive industry like no other development in its 120 year history. A rapid convergence of sensor-based, communications and computing technologies seem to hold the promise of the crashless car as well as transformational improvements in the efficiency of our traffic flows. Autonomous vehicles could lower energy consumption, reduce emissions and even offer a commuter the chance to take two hours of his day back in productivity. The key technologies are already here, demonstrated in numerous test programmes taking place throughout the world. But when and how will autonomous capabilities start to penetrate mainstream vehicle markets? How can the technology be made sufficiently compact, robust and affordable? What changes will be needed to our laws, insurance systems and traffic infrastructure? And how will drivers respond to, and cope with this brave new world of autonomous mobility? This year s FISITA World Automotive Summit will seek to answer these questions with the help of policymakers and influential experts spanning the worlds of government, law, insurance, traffic policy, human factors and, of course, technology. We invite you to join us and help shape this exciting debate. Dr. Li Jun FISITA President
