We sat down with Dunne at MOVE 2024 to discuss how the national supermarket chain is making strides toward their 2035 net-zero emissions goal through both fleet operations and store output.

“We’re confident we’ll get there,” he stated.

At MOVE 2024, Dr. James Peng, CEO and Co-Founder of Pony.ai, outlined a bold vision for the role of autonomous driving in transforming transportation.
“We want to make the customer’s autonomous ride boring,” said Peng.
In his keynote workshop, “Discussing the Future of Mobility,” Peng said this to emphasise the promise that autonomous mobility holds in making travel safer, more reliable, and most importantly, hassle-free.
However, he acknowledged the need for a comprehensive, ecosystem-wide approach to realise this vision.
“Autonomous mobility requires the whole ecosystem to move along. No single company can do it alone. It requires all the technical side, regulatory side, and supply chain side of the ecosystem,” said Peng.
Pony.ai’s participation in MOVE was driven by the desire to engage with other key players in the ecosystem and explore collaborative opportunities. Peng highlighted how Pony.ai depends on partnerships to enhance the entire customer journey, from cabin maintenance and entertainment to construction and various in-car requirements.
The autonomous vehicle leader noted a significant milestone in their recent agreement with the government of Luxembourg to research, develop, and deploy autonomous vehicles in the country.
Peng hinted at long-term ambitions, indicating that Luxembourg is just the starting point. While the company is already operating in the US and China, the CEO assured, “We’ll definitely not just stop in Luxembourg,” suggesting plans for expansion across the European continent.

“The reality is, everything that moves will be autonomous,” said Danny Shapiro, VP of Automotive at NVIDIA, about the inevitability of self-driving technology at MOVE 2024.
In an exclusive interview, Shapiro detailed NVIDIA’s monumental role in crafting the cars of the future.
Shapiro explained the tech giant is not building the robots nor the cars, but building the core technology for it; providing the base platform essential for autonomous operations.
Broken down into three phases – training AI, testing simulations and finally the computer that actually sits in the car – he claims NVIDIA’s tech plays an integral part in each phase.
Shapiro also stated that the company’s flagship chip, the “Blackwell”, is going to change the game for autonomous vehicles, plus promising new architecture every year in order to keep up with the constantly-evolving AI tech.
Watch the full interview below to hear more about the company’s revolutionary tech and what the future of autonomy could look like.
