Growth, Innovation and Leadership event will discuss what businesses should do to thrive in the autonomous technologies-led economy of the future

SANTA CLARA, California, Sept. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Autonomous technologies have become ubiquitous in a wide range of industries, highlighting their pivotal role in the economy of the future. But the pace of change has been so rapid and the scale of transformation so profound that policies, regulations, industries and adjunct technologies have struggled to keep pace. Acknowledging this, Frost & Sullivan's flagship event, Growth, Innovation and Leadership: A Frost & Sullivan Executive Summit, taking place from Oct. 1- 4, 2018, at Paradise Point Resort & Spa, San Diego, Calif., will devote a Think Tank to Connected Intelligent Autonomy: Drones and Cars of the Future. This special session will chart a potential roadmap for the new ecosystem of autonomy, delving into impacts, drivers, challenges, strategic responses, and investment opportunities.

The Think Tank will focus on the current capabilities of autonomous drones and vehicles, the links between IoT and data workflows in the autonomous vehicle ecosystem, and how robotic fleets will engage with commercial logistics and urban mobility spheres. Headlining the agenda will be an interactive panel on The Ecosystem of Autonomy, a roundtable discussion on Connected Mobility and Logistics, case studies on the Smart/Safe City of the Future and a keynote on Future Forward Thinking on the Industry, which will provide insights into future development scenarios.
