SMLL Celebrates First Anniversary

 
SMLL guests at anniversary party
 

Delight was clear to see on the faces of everyone who participated in the SMLL Anniversary networking event, live in Woolwich, at the end of September. It was fantastic to see so many people for real (with legs!) and spend time talking and listening.
A big thankyou to our keynote speakers who reflected the spirit of adventure and collaboration in the testbed:
Michael Talbot - CCAV
Michael Hurwitz - Arrival
Karla Jakeman - InnovateUK
The 100+ crowd, many from the SMLL Innovation Community, explored a range of interactive demos, and enjoyed a Storytime session from accomplished after dinner speaker Robbie Stamp who set them thinking about the opportunities for AI in new mobility.

Dr Shaun Helman from TRL challenged his colleagues to each take a different route to the event - in the style of Top Gear - in order to experience four different modes of transport across the city. In this short article he compares notes, and reflects on the journey to making whole mobility systems safe, liveable, accessible, and sustainable.
