NORTHBROOK, Ill., July 16, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

--The virtual Realizing the Future of Mobility Now Summit, Aug. 11-13, will

help automotive manufacturers and suppliers navigate issues related to

autonomous, connected, electric and shared vehicles.

UL, the global safety science leader, today announced that it will host the

virtual Future of Mobility Now Summit Wed., Aug. 11 to Fri., Aug. 13 (SGT). The

event will be held in collaboration with the Advanced Remanufacturing and

Technology Centre (ARTC (https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3229644-1&h=1928683783&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.a-star.edu.sg%2Fartc&a=ARTC

)), a unit of Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR (

"Introducing innovative autonomous vehicle technologies, while providing

enhanced convenience and safety benefits, also introduces new safety

challenges. This is why the convergence of new mobility technologies and safety

requires holistic solutions that help enable the safe and secure operation of

increasingly intelligent and complex vehicle systems," said Sajeev Jesudas, the

executive vice president and chief commercial officer for UL. "Never has there

been a more exciting or innovative time as the new mobility revolution

accelerates every day. At the Realizing the Future of New Mobility Summit, we

are looking forward to joining ARTC to put a spotlight on critical new mobility

issues that can help advance adoption of AV technologies."

The Realizing the Future of Mobility Now Summit will provide automotive

manufacturers and suppliers the most up-to-date information on comprehensive

testing, inspection certification, and training and assessment services related

to autonomous vehicles. This includes aspects affecting cybersecurity,

in-vehicle electronics, complex vehicle propulsion systems and advanced

driver-assistance systems (ADAS), as well as entirely new micro-mobility

technologies and products.
