In the second keynote panel on day two of MOVE 2024, more leaders and agents of change took to the stage to discuss how OEMs are increasingly become software experts in the age of connectivity.
Maria Uvarova, SVP of Software Product Management at Stellantis, explained how modern-day automakers are having to transform themselves into more software-savvy businesses due to the age of the software-defined vehicle.
“We need to acknowledge that OEMs are going through an internal battle with themselves, it remains to be seen whether some of them will survive that battle. It is not enough to recreate a software unit and then claim you make software-defined vehicles. You need to make sure the whole company follows suit,” said the Stellantis SVP.
The other keynote panellists added to this point noting that automakers need to view connectivity as a major organ of the car.
Marcus Welz, CEO of Hyundai Connected Mobility, stressed this with the analogy “the heart of the system sits in the car and the brain of the car sits in the cloud”.
The conversation moved onto the topic of in-car payments and digital wallets with contributions from Ali Almakky Global Head of Payments Solutions, Mobility sector at J.P. Morgan and Nico Kersten, CEO of Mercedes Pay, who disclosed that this is the key to creating seamless and embedded payments.

Day Two at MOVE 2024 has kicked off in the keynote theatre. With an impressive first panel discussing the autonomous vehicle industry of today’s transport system, industry-leaders from Nvidia, Baidu, Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Oxa gathered together to contribute to this topic.
The panel’s main topic for discussion revolved around the question of how self-driving cars can become safe, profitable and efficient for the transport system?
Danny Shapiro, VP of Automotive at Nvidia – the “Taylor Swift of the technology industry” – expressed how his company is at the core of each panellists’ companies: Baidu, Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Oxa.
“Nvidia partners with hundreds of global companies to help with data we are partners, its much more complex than anyone imagines. The software is never going to be done. Just like with your phone, there is always going to be updates. Just like cars, they will just keep getting better and better and better,” said Shapiro from Nvidia.
“There is a lot of testing going on in the UK, Europe, China, the States, it’s coming, everything will be autonomous.”
Helen K. Pan, GM and Board Director from BAIDU Apollo. turned the conversation onto the topic of safety, expressing how 95% of car accidents are reportedly due to human error.
She said: “Safety is the top priority, we want to drive down this statistic, autonomous driving can diversify travel opportunities and make people safer.”
Nils Jaeger, President of Volvo Autonomous Solutions, added that safety can be aided by autonomous vehicles not just on the roads but also in other places. He told how there are many fatalities involved in mining which can be helped through self-driving technology:
“We want to remove the human from that environment and make things safer.”
Paul Newman, President of Oxa, passionately added to the conversation that so much of the vehicle is built around of having humans involved. He made a strong point that we need to change the foundation of having the operator in the vehicle if the industry is going to keep pushing forward.

At MOVE 2024 this morning Dr. James Peng the co-founder and CEO of Pony.ai took to the keynote stage to discuss the future of mobility and emerging power of autonomous vehicles.
With Pony.ai’s driverless robotaxi operations already taking place in California, Arizona and three major cities in China, Peng elaborated on where he is going to expand next.
“There is global demand for cheaper more reliable safer mobility options, currently we are looking in the middle eastern region, we have established a joint venture with NEOM,” said Peng.
Pony.ai received $100m investment from NEOM – Saudi Arabia’s futuristic city and development project – back in November last year after they formed a joint venture.
Peng continued to discuss Pony.ai’s recent European expansion with Luxembourg.
“Europe is a great market but the challenge here is too many countries and too many different types of regulations, our first step into Europe is in Luxembourg.
But why choose why choose Luxembourg?
Peng said: “The European market has huge potential and already has really good public transportation and pre-existing taxi and fleet services. It’s also a small country with an open-minded government. So we can use this as a launch pad go into other countries.”
He also noted the most difficult part of developing autonomous vehicles.
“The most difficult thing about developing autonomous vehicles this the irrational behaviour of people. The potholes, the obstructions can all be detected. Anything static has a way of being dealt with. The irrational behaviour of people requires a decision in the split of a second, once we deal with this we can be more adaptable to other cities.”

MOVE 2024 opened its doors today to the global mobility ecosystem. In the keynote theatre this morning, the first panel brought together industry-leaders who are leading innovation in the sector.
The first panel this morning titled “Driving confidence in EV adoption” was joined by Sainsbury’s, NIO, Octopus Electric Vehicles, Scania, Centrica and National Grid.
From each panellist came a varied rating out of 10 for confidence in European adoption of EV vehicles.
Patrick Dunne, Chief Property & Procurement Officer from Sainsbury’s, claimed he was a 12 on that scale and even claimed that Sainsbury’s operations “will be net-zero by 2035”. He said that consumers and commercial users of EVs might not feel the same.
“The consumer confidence and commercial confidence today is not yet there, thats our job to drive that forwards,” said Dunne from Sainsbury’s.
Rob Simister, a Director at Centrica, claimed that 80% of Centrica’s current company cars are battery EVs, and further claimed that by end of 2025 that number will rise to 100%.
Steve Smith, a President at National Grid, shed light on what the pressures of EV uptake demands from the electrical grid:
“If we try to electrify transport then you probably need a grid four times the size as the one we have today,” said Smith from National Grid.
Kajsa Ivansson Sognefur, Head of Power Europe at NIO, said that her company is trying to aid the grid as much as it can. She detailed how NIO are helping to balance the grid. Their charging tech reportedly reacts accordingly to any changes in the grid to help continue balancing it.
Make sure to tune in all day to the fascination discussions happening every second here at MOVE 2024.

A key piece of new legislation may help to bring the reality of autonomous vehicles on the roads in the UK a step closer. Julia Marlow, Public Law & Policy Partner, Hogan Lovells and Marc Spurling, Director of Future Mobility Strategy, Aon, discuss the Automated Vehicles Act and the implications for the sector.
What is the AV Act?
The Automated Vehicles Act, which became law in England and Wales on 20 May 2024, provides a legal framework for regulating the use of automated vehicles (AV) on roads and other public places. It creates a process for the authorisation of “self-driving vehicles”, as well as information-gathering and investigatory powers. The Government has said that it paves the way for self-driving vehicles to be on British roads by 2026.
However, says Marc Spurling, Director of Future Mobility Strategy, Aon:
“One of the most interesting aspects of the Act is the way in which it tackles the question of responsibility for safety, as well as liability when things go wrong”. Julia Marlow, Public Law & Policy Partner, Hogan Lovells, agrees: “At the moment, the driver of a vehicle has full responsibility for driving safely and following the rules of the road. The Act introduces a fundamental change by shifting that responsibility away from drivers to others involved in developing self-driving vehicles and facilitating their use on our roads”.
How does the AV Act classify self-driving entities and who is affected?
The Act achieves this shift by identifying, and ascribing responsibility and liability, to the different entities involved in controlling a self-driving vehicle. For example, the Act defines a person who is in a self-driving vehicle, and in a position to take control of it, but not actually controlling it, as a “user-in-charge”.
“The Act specifically provides that a “user-in-charge” is not liable for the manner of the vehicle’s driving,” says Marlow, “unless the vehicle has issued a “transition demand” (which effectively tells that person to take over the driving, usually due to adverse conditions) and the “transition period” (which is the time that the vehicle allows for that person to take back control) has ended.”
The Act identifies the “authorised self-driving entity”, likely to be the vehicle manufacturer, operator or software developer, as the person responsible for ensuring that the vehicle travels to an acceptably safe standard. “That represents a huge change compared to the system that we have in place today,” says Spurling. More broadly, the Act creates new offences, such as the criminal offence of falsely marketing a vehicle as having autonomous capability if it is not an authorised self-driving vehicle. By identifying the key legal actors who will share responsibility and liability, however, the UK is helping to create clarity for the mobility players in this ecosystem and wider society.
“Complexity and uncertainty can stifle investment and innovation, and, in the insurance sector, it can restrict or reduce the flow of capital. This new legislation should be a catalyst for stakeholders from across the value chain to come together to plan and solve for AV deployment at scale,” says Spurling.
Defining the responsibilities of different parties and the link to potential liability helps the insurance industry to shape suitable coverage terms to protect the assets of the AV companies, users of the services, and the wider public and road users who will interact with the technology.
Who’s liable for what?
Autonomous mobility offers the tantalising prospect of safer roads, but the insurance sector will naturally consider what happens if something goes wrong, where the following potential liability scenarios could apply:
- Not following the rules of the road:
Liability for failing to follow road rules may be attributed to local authorities, manufacturers, operators, and the user-in-charge of autonomous vehicles.
Under the Act, local authorities in England must provide essential information on roads such as speed limits, bus lanes, and no entry signs to enable the manufacturer to programme the vehicle to operate safely and legally. If a road rule is not followed because the local authority failed to provide the relevant information, it follows that the local authority would be held liable.
If violations occur due to the manufacturer or software developer’s failure properly to code the data provided, or because of a fault of the operator overseeing a vehicle without a user-in-charge, liability shifts to them.
The user-in-charge generally bears no liability if the vehicle is in self-driving mode as long as they are not acting recklessly, such as by refusing to resume manual control of the vehicle in response to a transition demand. This immunity does not extend to ‘non-driving’ failures, such as failing to insure their vehicle or pay a congestion charge.
- Injury to other road users:
Manufacturers and software developers will be responsible if their vehicles cause injury to road users because of a design or programming flaw. Operators will be responsible if any injury is caused while a no-user-in-charge vehicle is under their operation.
- Injury to passengers:
The rules on liability for injuries to passengers are very similar as those for other road users. Liability might also arise in circumstances where the manufacturer has withheld or provided misleading information on the vehicle’s safety features, directly leading to the passenger’s injury. A user-in-charge would still be responsible for ensuring that safety precautions (like fastening children’s seatbelts and securing heavy loads) are taken.
- Damage to property:
Manufacturers and software developers are responsible for adapting vehicles to specific conditions and locations. If their failure to do so results in property damage, they will be held liable. Similarly, if an operator’s oversight leads to damage of the property, the operator will be liable.
Implications for the AV sector
The Act starts to give clarity on the circumstances when a user-in-charge could be responsible, which helps to plan for the risks associated with Level 3 autonomous features. Responsibility mainly arises from interference or inappropriate use of the self-driving features. However, a crucial aspect is the failure to retake control of the vehicle after a transition demand is made and the transition period expires, putting responsibility back on a human driver.
The legislation also provides more certainty on the role of the driving technology suggesting it should be treated like an ordinary competent driver – this infers liability will be based on all the circumstances and the actions taken by the self-driving technology and not strict liability.
“This framework helps organisations like Aon identify the protection gap and avoid conflicting insurance policies. It shows the movement away from a traditional “motor risk” policy towards a combination of general, product and software liability,” says Spurling, “something we are already doing with clients (such as Oxa in the UK) where we have co-developed AV specific embedded insurance products to sit with the autonomous technology.”
What happens next?
The Act has now received Royal Assent. “That normally brings an Act of Parliament into force”, says Marlow “but, in this case, the Act provides that it will only come into force when the Secretary of State makes separate regulations. Moreover, much of the detail as to how this new regime will work is still to be decided, and will be contained in further, detailed regulations that are yet to be drafted and may be subject to future consultation.”
Underpinning all this will be how insurance should be adapted to provide certainty to the public that suitable coverage will protect them in using and being part of an autonomous driving future. It also means giving certainty to owners, operators and technology providers.
For the insurance industry it means reducing the potential for policy overlap and conflict in insurance terms and coverage, and designing products that fit the needs of future operating models.
Become involved in shaping the future regulations
Advisors and participants in the mobility sector have an important role in working collaboratively to share ideas and contribute to the design of regulation and insurance.
“There are things we can do now to help contribute to the way the regulations are drafted,” says Marlow. These actions include:
- engaging with Government about how the detail should work, including through the formal consultation processes, but also through informal means such as working with industry bodies that help to create robust standards to support deployment; and
- challenging brokers and insurers to show how they will develop insurance products that are pragmatic, adaptable and fit for purpose.
“In the UK, the government has taken a lead in defining some of the fundamental concepts that will support autonomous driving at scale,” says Marlow, with Spurling adding “As professional services firms we have a unique opportunity to help shape pragmatic and affordable regulatory and insurance solutions that will unlock all of the positive benefits that self-driving technology brings”.

Aon’s David Joo – EMEA Intellectual Property Lead, within the Digital Transaction Advisory Services – explores the importance of developing a multi-layered intellectual property (IP) value protection strategy for R&D-intensive mobility businesses innovating to stay ahead of the competition.
A failure to ‘innovate or meet customer needs’ ranks within the top ten risks businesses are most concerned about, finds Aon’s 2023/24 Global Risk Management Survey of business leaders worldwide. This concern is particularly evident in the mobility sector where innovation is highly prized and recognised as the key to delivering a competitive edge and, in turn, driving customer and business value.
But, given much of this innovation can be characterised as IP – whether it comes in the form of hardware and software – many of these intangible assets are often overlooked from a risk perspective, especially in early stages of research and development (R&D). That means IP items like trade secrets, even though they can be an organisation’s most valuable assets, are vulnerable to leakage or theft.
It’s a serious shortcoming that underlines the need for R&D intensive and tech heavy mobility businesses to develop a multi-layered IP security strategy that extends beyond just digital security and emphasises IP value protection.
Key IP Risk
One of the major issues in an R&D intensive business can be the disconnect between internal groups who should control an interest in an organisation’s IP. Within a typical large corporate, for example, there might be a chief information security officer, a chief innovation officer, and heads of legal and R&D. These individuals and their respective teams generally sit in different parts of the business which, because they do not have a cohesive view on the IP portfolio, can lead to problems in communication and misalignment on value protection strategies. It is often the case that IP falls outside the mandate of CISOs or even CIOs, while in-house IP departments frequently sit under the legal team rather than R&D. To address this shortcoming, there needs to be a centralised system for IP governance to bridge the gaps and establish a comprehensive and robust IP value protection strategy. Better collaboration is also a way to help drive innovation and increase enterprise value throughout the organisation.
Security by Design
Another pressing requirement is around the mindset for IP value protection. There is a continually evolving approach in the cyber security space that focuses on security by design, covering areas such as operating procedures and information technologies, where the purpose can be summarised as ‘ensuring that security is not treated as an add-on to any new design or development of a product; it’s effectively baked in from the outset.’ This feels like the corporate mindset needed when it comes to IP value protection for mobility companies given the rise of new IP being developed around areas like system design, testing frameworks, batteries, and chips.
IP Exposure to Cyber Risk
As we look towards other R&D-intensive sectors, IP theft is now often cited as a core motive for cyber-related attacks, generally experienced alongside financial theft. One obvious reason is due to top sensitive data being generated, analysed, and disseminated across the business. According to CrowdStrike’s 2024 Global Threat Report, nation-state adversaries were active in 2023 with a target on IP. The report states that “adversaries continued to operate at an unmatched pace across the global landscape, leveraging stealth and scale to collect targeted group surveillance data, strategic intelligence and intellectual property”.
Unfortunately, R&D-intensive businesses operate highly sophisticated systems where cyber vulnerabilities are typically quick to find for attackers and slow to fix for cyber security teams. Specific to mobility, there is a clear rise in cyber exposure within the industry. As IoT becomes embedded into the automotive space, for example, key cyber risks are elevated such as connected cars presenting an immediate network entry point for disruption and connected roads infrastructure causing aggregate exposure levels.
For manufacturing businesses this means there is a need for effective business continuity plans as system outages due to malware penetration may cause significant losses. Although insurance programmes may cover portions of the loss incurred, there is a gap in relation to loss of IP due to cyber-attacks and, therefore R&D-intensive businesses should look to implement physical and digital best practice to protect IP value. One recommendation to link up cyber security and IP is to factor in IP discussions when developing a defence strategy, which can further justify security investment based on value protected.
Human Capital at the Core of Innovation and Risk Mitigation
Mobility also has a big challenge around human talent and IP vulnerability. With an evolving need to access talent pools with expertise ranging from AI, engineering, and telecommunications, understanding talent in one of the most technologically interconnected sectors and how that influences the IP generation for enterprise value growth is vital. But individuals in an R&D function hold key knowledge and technical skills that are difficult to replace (and these are not necessarily the very senior roles). How well, for example, do the processes work when talent moves to a competitor? How is the IP managed so that it doesn’t leave with a departing employee? How well are exit interviews conducted? What about working with partners? How can companies make sure that IP is not exposed or lost? With heightened movement of talent, combined with the tremendous amount of innovation, valuable IP being created within the ecosystem can be subject to leakage or theft.
People are the gatekeepers for protecting trade secrets and establishing the growth in IP portfolios more broadly. A talent retention solution is crucial and can vary widely from business to business. For R&D-intensive businesses, an incentive plan around IP generation, talent development for future skills to overcome the risk of failure to innovate (i.e. advancing knowledge), as well as performance and productivity tracking can significantly impact the value creation engine.
IP is Too Valuable to be Neglected
Having considered many of these risks, mobility businesses might look at the role of insurance and where it sits in their IP protection strategy. The first line of defence always needs to be in protecting the business through digital and physical security measures, implemented by people and supported by cyber capabilities, but, in parallel to that, there are risk transfer solutions available that can extend valuable protection in areas such as IP liability. IP insurance helps companies leverage valuable intellectual property by covering the legal expenses to enforce IP rights against third parties. And while insurance cannot replace a robust IP value protection programme, it can complement it.
Developing a Multifold IP Security Strategy
Mobility businesses focused on R&D require a multifold IP security strategy which extends across digital cyber security, IP rights protection (e.g., patent filings), IP risk transfer solutions, and contractual protection (e.g., when working in collaboration with others). A business’s ability to capture innovation from R&D, understand the R&D workforce, and create enterprise value to establish a competitive edge means an accelerated understanding of IP value protection strategies cannot be overlooked.
David Joo is a dynamic strategist, with diverse experience across consulting and legal services, specialising in IP matters in the context of M&A at Aon.
