I had the pleasure of speaking with Hakan Kostepen, an expert in emerging technologies and product development within the automotive and mobility sectors. As Co-Founder and Managing Director of h&k ventures LLC and former Executive Director at Panasonic Silicon Valley, Hakan brought a wealth of experience in autonomous vehicles, AI/ML, and cross-domain technology integration. Our conversation delved into the challenges of data overload in today’s fast-paced tech landscape, advocating for a shift from traditional AI to a more holistic approach of collective intelligence. We explored the critical role of time, space, and trust in fostering innovation, as well as the pressing issues surrounding data privacy amidst the rise of big data collectors. It was a thought-provoking discussion on the future of Mobility 4.0 and how we can navigate the complexities of innovation in a connected world.
