I particularly liked how this course throughout weighed pros and cons of autonomous mobility to stimulate you to think for yourself what your take will on the future. Specially the parts where Victor and Maria tried to connect AVs correlation with other options like Mobility hubs, Public Transport, Deep tech etc.. Also, one other thing to note was how through the guest videos were. Nicely done!

Some inconsistencies or confusing description for CAV, SDV and Av's , could benefit from using expert developed terms (e.g BSI Flex 1890) , some elements had general comments that jumped across concepts , requiring me to read it several times to understand the flow.
Very useful course. It has comprehensive and insightful content that covers a wide range of topics related to autonomous vehicles, including their technological, social, economic, and environmental impacts. The course effectively addresses the challenges and opportunities associated with the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles.
