    HACKATHON MOBILITY BCN 2018 - SEAT/TELEFÓNICA-H4G/METROPOLIS:LAB
    05 Mar - 01:00 PM
    Barcelona, Spain
     About the Hackathon   The sector of mobility is facing a major challenge as a result of the growth of population in the cities and the rising demand for a cleaner, greener world.  Besides that, new technologies such as the Internet and on-board computers (whether it is a mobile phone in a pocket or a computer integrated into a vehicle), allow us to be more connected than ever before, thereby creating a range of technological and digital possibilities that will be key for understanding the future of mobility.   The hackathon focuses on these aspects: how will we move, our experience while doing it, and the services derived from our movements.  From CARNET we want to promote new ideas for the future of mobility, offering the attendees the chance to participate in it. This creative event includes tutorials on key technologies. A wide range of devices will be available for use and key data will be provided to validate the solutions that are developed. THREE CHALLENGES HackForGood. Social Mobility: waking up the machines by Cátedras Telefónica This Challenge focuses on how to make Mobility more socially sustainable using information and communication technologies.  AI For Mobility & Driving Experience  By SEAT   This Challenge focuses on how to improve Mobility and Driving Experience using a Cozmo Robot and its Artificial Intelligence Visualizing Mobility By Metropolis:Lab This challenge focuses on how can we see and identify the patterns of mobility inside the city, creating or improving services derived from it.    For more info, check www.carnetbarcelona.com/hackathon2018    /carnet.barcelona                @carnetBCN
