We interviewed Matthew Baldwin, Deputy Director-General of the European Commission Directorate-General for Transport and Mobility. He was appointed European Coordinator for Road Safety and Sustainable Mobility in October 2018.

We spoke about what is ahead in terms of regulation for the automotive sector, autonomous driving vehicles, how sexist bias impacted the design of cars’ airbags, how sustainable goals of cleaner air when rebuilding the economy are top of the mind in the European Green Deal, and how the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has made a priority of delivering economic growth and jobs by building the infrastructure that a green mobility requires.

*The interview was made via Zoom on the 19th October 2020.
