Connected cars in focus during great debate

Over the next decade millions of connected cars will be sold to companies throughout the country, but what will their arrival mean for HR & fleet managers?

That is the focus of a key industry debate taking place during Company Car in Action, taking place at Millbrook Proving Ground 13-14 June 201, which will look at the risks and rewards of connected technology.

The ‘Great Debate’, called ‘Technology and safety - managing connected cars and autonomy’, will ask how fleet policies need to adapt to cover the universal use of smartphones, the growing use of connected cars and increasing availability of autonomous technologies.

The challenge for fleets is to obtain the benefits from accessing data available from modern vehicles, while ensuring that this does not cause any safety related issues such as driver distraction and breaches of data security.
