Can Mapping and OEM Partnerships Drive the Next Level of Autonomy? | FT Live Future of the Car 2025

In Part Two of this exclusive fireside chat, recorded at the Future of the Car 2025 conference by ‪@FinancialTimesLive‬ (‪@FinancialTimes‬) the conversation turns to what it will take for OEMs and tech partners to unlock the next stage of autonomous driving.

Michael Harrell, SVP of Engineering, Maps at ‪@TomTom‬ and Imogen Bhogal, Presenter and Producer at the ‪@fullychargedshow‬, dive into the real-world challenges of scaling autonomy beyond motorways and cities; where high-quality maps, complex junctions, and industry collaboration become critical. They also explore how success in autonomy will depend not just on mapping technology, but on organizational culture and the strength of collaboration between OEMs and their suppliers - factors that will ultimately determine which companies lead and which are left behind.

Watch now to explore how shared digital infrastructure, software-defined vehicles, and smarter partnerships are shaping the future of mobility.
