2099: The Tech Behind the RingGo Cashless Parking Solution

Despite the acceleration of tech developments, it can often seem like consumer expectations outpace every industry. Whether outlandish or reasonable, consumers want intuitive, tech-enabled experiences in the here and now. It's all well talking about what's possible in 2030 or even 2050, but how much of that is readily available for us to use currently – what technologies are turning vision into reality? On this podcast, I enjoy exploring how those expectations transform areas you don't associate with tech, and a great example of this is car parks. For instance, it's not uncommon to pay for your parking space using a smartphone app. Today's guest takes that a step further and believes that today's cars do much more than get you from A to B, as integrated tech experiences are revolutionizing travel on our roads by making transport greener and more innovative while turning cars into smartphones on wheels. Peter O'Driscoll, Managing Director of RingGo, joins me on Tech Talks Daily to discuss the future of parking, mobility, and the automotive industry. We discuss the impact of the technological age with the increased prevalence of tech and easy accessibility and tackling the rising CX demands. We also talk about the knock-on effect reflected in car trends towards tech-enabled, sustainable transport, with one in five buyers looking to go electric, according to SMMT.
