November 2026 BCA Inform - Autonomous Vehicles and Accessible Public Transport

What could the future of transport look like for people who are blind or vision impaired?

Join us as we welcome guest speaker Steve Hurd who will take us through emerging developments in transport technology, including autonomous vehicles and the potential for self-driving technology to provide greater independence and mobility for people who are blind or vision impaired. We’ll consider how close these technologies may be to becoming a reality and what changes may be needed to ensure people who are blind or vision impaired can benefit from these developments.

The session will also include an update on recent changes to the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport, including new rules designed to make public transport safer, easier to use and more accessible.
