Osborne Clarke Video Miniseries: Mobility in Asia

In partnership with Osborne Clarke, Intelligent Transport’s Leah Hockley is joined by Chia Ling Koh, Steve Yu and Parveen Arora to discuss mobility trends in Asia and the legal challenges of delivering digital payments systems, intelligent vehicles and e-mobility.

In the second instalment of a three-episode video miniseries in partnership with Osborne Clarke, Intelligent Transport‘s Leah Hockley is joined by Chia Ling Koh, Managing Director of Osborne Clarke Queen Street; Steve Yu, Co-Managing Partner of Zhang Yu & Partners; and Parveen Arora, Partner and Practice Lead of Energy and Infrastructure at BTG Legal.

In this episode, Chia, Steve and Parveen discuss the mobility trends that they have witnessed in Shanghai, Singapore and Delhi, as well as topics including digital payment and reservation systems; autonomy and connectivity; and electric vehicles infrastructure.

Key discussion points raised during the conversation include:

  • As the transport industry becomes more digitally focused, what are the legal challenges of implementing digital payment and reservation systems?
  • Autonomy and connectivity are also significant focuses for the industry at the moment, but what liability issues do manufacturers and operators face when creating and introducing intelligent vehicles?
