Last week, @isostandards 𝐓𝐂 𝟐𝟎𝟒 𝐖𝐆𝟏𝟒 committee met in Berlin 🇩🇪 at VDA offices to discuss & progress upcoming international standards on #selfdriving vehicles. We are entering a key phase in the #AutomatedVehicle standardisation journey, with focus shifting to robotaxi standards & updates to collision mitigation standards. We also kick-started drafting of the new work item on Remote-Support for selfdriving vehicles. Lots more to come... As I always say, standardisation is a collaborative endeavour. As my first & home ISO committee, always grateful to the incredible support, guidance, and collaboration from the WG14's global experts. And huge thank you to VDA for being great hosts & all the organisation... 🙏

Witnessed the changing landscape of the Indian 🇮🇳 automotive ecosystem at 𝐒𝐈𝐀𝐓 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, organised by Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI). Together with Halima El Badaoui, had the privilege to present our research on 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞-𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 and Crowd sourcing 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭. Humbled by the great reception of our talks & the research. Kudos to the team for delivering such impactful research. Life has been kind... 🙏

The automotive ecosystem is a small world. And I have reasons to believe that. Serendipitously bumping into our long-time friends at @ApplusIDIADA, Carles Lujan Tutusaus & Karthika Petchinathan, learning about their expansion plans in India🇮🇳 at SIAT 2026. Always a pleasure...😊

Continued our mission of underpinning future standards & policy with strong research outputs. This year, initiated three new @isostandards on #selfdriving vehicles and autonomous ships as lead authors... 10/12

Productive couple of days in Montreal🇨🇦 discussing @isostandards TC22 SC33 WG9 on testing of automated driving. Standardisation remains a deeply collaborative journey & grateful to all the experts for their contributions. We have reached an inflection point for #selfdriving tech. The next phase requires robust standards to support the implementation of the regulations. Privileged to be part of this journey... And huge thanks to our hosts @NRC_CNRC @Transport_gc for the organisation... 🙏

The numbers speak for themselves. Ignoring Road Safety is the biggest hypocrisy of our society. On this #WDoR2025, while remembering those who lost their lives due to road crashes, let's act to fix road safety. Because road crashes are preventable... #RememberSupportAct #RoadSafety #WDoR

Kicking off a week long @isostandards TC204 WG14 meeting creating the next generation of standards for automated driving including robotaxi. Grateful to @ansidotorg @UCRiverside for the organisation & hospitality... #traveldiaries🇺🇸 #worktravels

Earlier this week, had a timely & poignant discussion with colleagues at @imperialcollege Centre for Sectoral Performance (CSEP) on revitalising the UK automotive sector's GVA. My big point: the UK needs to start picking winners, especially for the mega trends! CSEP has been created with the generous support from the @GatsbyEd & Lord Sainsbury to help revitalise the UK's GVA output. At @wmgwarwick, we are pleased to be collaborating with the CSEP team on helping design the automotive sector interventions in the age of Software Defined Vehicles.
