MWC Barcelona is an annual opportunity for connections and collaboration across the telecommunications industry. Over 100,000 people attended this year’s event, which ran from 3 to 6 March and showcased almost 3,000 exhibitors. Darwin’s Irving Galva Tapia was present at the show, speaking about Darwin’s work with autonomous vehicles and ubiquitous communications.
Irving had the opportunity to meet with Darwin’s partners, including the UK Space Agency (UKSA), the European Space Agency and Virgin Media O2, and to speak to other organisations about potential collaborations. In particular, Wednesday’s ‘Accelerated Journey to Autonomous Driving’ session was a great opportunity to connect with other professionals in the autonomous driving industry.
At the UKSA stand, visitors could watch a short video about Darwin’s work. This video gave a quick overview of the Darwin Autonomous Shuttle, and looked ahead to Darwin’s future work installing self-driving transportation services in ports.
As ports have heavy transportation needs, with constant movement of people and goods, they’re in the perfect position to benefit from self-driving vehicles. We’re looking forward to beginning our deployment of autonomous vehicles in UK ports later this year, with mainland Europe to follow in 2026.
