    Mobility is at its most consequential transformation since the invention of the automobile. What was once defined by speed, infrastructure, and engineering is now being reshaped by intelligence, trust, and governance. At the centre of this shift lies Artificial Intelligence, not as a standalone technology, but as the cognitive engine enabling autonomous mobility systems to perceive, decide, learn, and act in the real world. Autonomous mobility is no longer a distant concept. AI-powered vehicles, drones, logistics platforms, and intelligent transport systems are already shaping how people and goods move across cities, borders, and economies. Yet while technological progress is accelerating, policy, regulation, and public trust are struggling to keep pace.
    Autonomous X Mobility: The Global Congress on AI-Powered Mobility will convene global leaders at the intersection of AI, mobility, and public policy to address a defining question of our time: How do we responsibly deploy AI-driven autonomous mobility systems in a way that is safe, inclusive, ethical, and aligned with societal good? The programme is intentionally designed as a high-level, policy-forward platform focused on advancing international cooperation, responsible innovation, and actionable frameworks for the future of autonomous mobility.
    Schedule

    As AI reshapes how the world moves, international standards are the foundation on which safety, trust, and interoperability must be built. This session opens the congress by framing global cooperation imperatively at the heart of autonomous mobility.

    Speaker(s)

    Autonomous mobility spans road, water, and air across regional and international boundaries. Achieving safe and scalable cross-border deployment requires coherent regulatory frameworks and broad collaboration, including partnerships such as the decade-long ITU–UNECE one.

    Speaker(s)

    What it means for deployment at scale - examining the global regulations now enabling cross-border autonomous deployment and the roadmap ahead.

    Speaker(s)

    A fireside chat format with a leading autonomous vehicle manufacturer, exploring the real-world experience of bringing autonomous systems to market.

    Speaker(s)

    A solutions-focused panel exploring how AI-powered autonomous mobility can be a force for social good - addressing road safety, accessibility, sustainability, and the risk that without deliberate policy, autonomous deployment reinforces rather than reduces inequality.

    Panelists:
    Moderator(s):

    This presentation will outline a vision for intelligent train control as a key enabler of trustworthy autonomous railways. Building on existing automatic train operation, train protection and supervision paradigms, it will discuss how AI, advanced communications, explainable decision-making, digital twins and autonomic computing can support safer, more efficient and more resilient railway operations. Particular attention will be given to the role of traditional train protection as a certified safety envelope, while AI-based perception, obstacle detection and driving assistance functions progressively enhance automation, capacity, energy efficiency and operational flexibility.

    Speaker(s)

    The future of mobility is increasingly connected, intelligent, and automated. Advances in vehicle connectivity, artificial intelligence, and digital infrastructure are transforming how vehicles operate, interact, and contribute to safer, more efficient, and more sustainable transport systems.

    The Future Networked Car Symposium, co-organized by ITU and UNECE, brings together global leaders from government, industry, and academia to explore the technological, business, standards, and regulatory developments shaping this transformation.

    This high-level opening session, featuring leadership of ITU and UNECE together with the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Road Safety, Jean Todt, officially launches the 2026 Symposium and welcomes participants to join the discussions taking place on 9 July in Room Q.
